If public health groups actua...Leg Iron is spot on. If public health groups actually cared about public health they would be over the moon about the electronic cigarette. Instead, they seem to take the view that smoking is morally wrong, even when it is not bad for you. <br /><br />A couple of weeks ago Quit in New Zealand admitted that the electronic cigarette was "certainly a good thing" from a health view point but complained:<br /><br />"Our concern is that, at face value, they appear to reinforce the behaviour of having a cigarette. It's reinforcing the wrong habit and potentially without addressing the addiction."<br /><br />Or as we translated it on our blog:<br /><br />"smoking is morally wrong, even if it is not bad for you..<br /><br />"And if you can't quit, you can just f**k off and die."James Dunworthhttp://www.ecigarettedirect.co.uk/ashtray-blog/noreply@blogger.com
