Vaping is legal in the UK. I am a UK citizen. I use facebook to watch the trends in vaping AND find out what products are avaliable to buy. You try to rule me by your USA mentality? How very backward you are in devising a policy that lumps electronic cigarettes in with tobacco cigarettes. It simply shows your utter and profound IGNORANCE and your herd mentality in attempting to apply Tobacco Control to a networking site. Tobacco Control has got nothing to hold over vaping. Vaping is NOT smoking. Vaping is not a "tabacco" product. Vaping is the most useful smokers' harm-reduction product yet known. You should be promoting vaping in every way - you could save lives!
The thing that has really made me incandescent is not the fact that you have taken down sites before they could download their information - you should be sued for that - nor that you do not want merchants of electronic cigarettes "selling" their wares on facebook, whilst merchants of other products are welcome to, but that you have SINGLED OUT vaping to have something to do with tobacco! Vaping is a means to get OFF tobacco....It seems such an easy concept. Why is it so hard to understand?
As a UK citizen over whom you have no jurisdiction, I say, until you can get your head around how useful electronic cigarettes really are, how less harmful than smoking they are, and how really they are nothing to do with tobacco, how they are currently the best way for smokers to quit smoking, you are pushing a policy as backward as clubbing or stoning or burning witches at a stake - shame on you!
Thank you do much it is a real cheap shot from a very very Dum guy to pull this crap. You are so true in that he should be supporting Vapeing and not cutting it off. But he must smoke him self or he is getting paid by the cig companies. Because what Face Book is trying to do will be all most like killing the people him self by not letting the word move on about some thing that is saving so many lives. It's that plain and simple Vapeing saves lives smoking is and has been killing people for a very long time but he to to Dum to see this. But thank you for posting this, you are a very smart lady!
ReplyDeleteWell said Liz. I was disgusted when I heard what Facebook had done, especially as the site I used The Smoker's Angel, was one of them. It had a great community feel about it. I made a nice couple of friends on there, not just because we were fellow vapers, but because we had other things in common as well.
ReplyDeleteFun photos and puzzle type things were put up by members for the entertainment of the rest of us. That has now all gone - 14000 fellow members snuffed out by Facebook, just like that.
Shame on them for lumping us with tobacco products users, as most of the members had, or were getting away from that scene with the help and enthusiasm of other non tobacco smoking members.
