Vaping is not smoking. It really isn't.
Smokers who try vaping and are displeased with it, know that.
Smoking is not vaping.
Vapers who have substituted smoking by vaping, trying smoking again and are displeased with it, know it.
There are some undeniable facts about smoking and vaping.
Smoking and vaping as ways to enjoy nicotine, do not satisfy everyone.
Smokers have become very anti vapers and vapers, anti smokers.
It's like the chicken and the egg - which came first?
My own sister, who is a smoker, is strangely aggressive to me about my vaping. She did try vaping but "hates" it. That's fine by me - it's her choice. But I sense she is cross with me because I no longer smoke. It's as if I have become the traitor! It's extremely strange, really it is....and if you follow my blog, you know I have always defended smokers.
If there had been no Tobacco Control Industry dividing society into hate factions with nasty mantras like smoking kills, complete myths like smokers lungs are black, monstrous lies like Second Hand Smoke is deadly, and introducing prohibition, would smokers smoke and vapers vape in perfect harmony?
Or not?

Vaping - down memory lane - before the prohibitionist packs
I stopped smoking in September, or was it October 2011? I accidentally started a You Tube Channel called "Vaping for the Over Sixties". I started this blog six months into vaping.At first it was fun - more light hearted than grim.
2012
Do you remember Steeljan? Vaping Trolls
2012
Do you remember Steeljan? Vaping Trolls
After I did a radio interview at Vapersplace - Sobranies for Kev at vapersplace
And Triple Coils with Scott Bonner Cripes! Triple coils
My kind of science! - I don't need science - the cat tells me
Vaping was fun - lighthearted - even in the loo! Shriek!
But sometimes it was more serious.
Alienating vapers - We ARE smokers!
Alienating smokers - My world of vaping is not like my world of smoking - uh uh
Here are my blog stats six months in - Thank you Vapers
And I thought THAT was quite impressive. I'm obviously easy to please!
I've always done my own thing. I am not affiliated to anyone, and I have no reputation to defend. I have no career that's threatened. I'm free. I love it when lots of people read my posts and talk to me - and often they do. It makes me feel it's been a worthwhile three years.
I'm not trying to get noticed by important people.
I naively feel that people are good - and nice. I like people. Except when they run in packs, In vaping and smoking circles I am finding there are packs - people running with the hare and hunting with the hounds. Or snarling at each other. In-circles politics, reputation protecting. Or smokers against vapers or the other way around.
I don't like "Government" because of the packs. Packs bully, snap and threaten. They are empowered by the subservient mentality of their members. They self perpetuate. Tobacco Control is a pack. Public Health has become a pack.
We vapers and smokers have only one force implacably against us - prohibition by the dominant packs. I don't know what we can do about it - it's some kind of modern mental illness inherent in modern packs who are rewarded by their members with prestige, degrees and funding.
It's grim.

Dodgy science unpicked for vapers but smokers deserve it too.
I have been taking a rest. But I have been watching the behaviour of the idiots, the fundamentalists and the sages.
I am an ordinary person. What more can we do, but watch? Ordinary people - not criminals - smokers like I used to be, have no academic power, no political power, no financial power. Everything a smoker does is legislated for in some way.
No group in the West, have been treated in such a way for an activity that is legal.
I point out that everything vapers are enduring in the pogrom against us, directly stems from the smoking ban. The motive for the smoking ban should be reassessed. It was not about health - not remotely. To get it accepted, the fundamentalist anti smoking groups seeded the minds of smokers and non-smokers alike with fear - and the science behind their facts, is as dodgy as it is about vaping.
Smoking is a normal occupation to millions of people who choose to smoke. Rates of smoking were already dropping as people, without any intimidation by regulation, were giving it up out of their own choice. I believe technology would have produced an electronic cigarette because technology is inclined to do that kind of thing. Hon Lik was not motivated to make an electronic cigarette by the smoking ban, but by wishing for something safer than smoking!
Enter the prohibitionists! And real misery. Best if they had left well alone.
I WAS a smoker, and the pain of the anti smoking persecution has not left me. There are millions of voiceless people out there, just like me! The total smoking ban that was, to our utter disbelief, passed by an unwitting UK Parliament in 2007, was not in OUR name. It was the result of heavy lobbying by Action on Smoking and Health (ASH) which is an industry set up to further the anti smoking ideology and guarantee their own jobs from (mostly) Government Funding - aka a fake charity.
Fake Charities are Britain's shame!

Clive Bates has just published another brilliant post. It's a pity smokers have no Clive Bates!
I wish someone would question the dodgy science about Second Hand Smoke too - in defence of smokers and the warped fracturing of society that THAT dodgy science has caused.The anti smoking ideology and the massive world-wide industry it has now become, needs to be unpicked piece by piece on the basis of the faulty science it has promoted.
Some strange societal mutations have been spawned from it. Only smokers are assumed to develop lung cancer. So that if you are a non smoker, you miss out on early diagnosis. The idea that no young people get lung cancer except smokers is an illusion created by Anti Smoking Ideology.
The idea that at age eighty-something, you die from old age, but if you were or happen still to be, a smoker, you die from a smoking related illness, is another unpickable piece of science. Strangely illogical don't you think?
I enjoy Clive Bates posts on behalf of my vaping-self. But my used-to-be-a-smoker-self sees them as an exposure of how corrupt all the Anti Smoking Industries are. If they are doing this to vapers, one can assume the same was/is done to smokers. They have made an anal, terrified and abstinent society on purpose by engineering it so. The world is not better for it!
