I have just seen the BBC reporting that Phillip Morris the manufacturers of Marlboro are advising Smokers in the UK to Quit smoking cigarettes.

 

But they are advising them to take up vaping or e cigs.

 

Its hard to believe that they are trying to recruit people to other forms of smoking to keep their business going.

 

Im not sure they should be allowed to do it.

That is ridiculous.... I am beginning to hate vaping and e cigs as much as I hate normal cigs. I am not sure that they are as prolific here yet.

 

So this story is a bit sad, and I agree I don't think they should be allowed to do it either.

 

On the plus side, I heard in the NEWS here that Britain now has more ex-smokers than they have current smokers... but I'm not sure if vapers are included in that figure.

 

Here is an article on the smoking numbers and smokers being far outnumbered by ex-smokers.... way to go Great Britain...

Gday

You'd think these companies would also want another world war to come along to boast thier sales as well.....

Not satisfied that we have figured out Nicotine and its various delivery  

systems actually kill the customer .... funny about that.

Phillip Morris is a bunch of bastards. If they said vegetables were healthy, i probably would not believe them.

It is not unusual for companies to divert customers away from one of their OWN products only to push a different one.

 

I do not get though -

Even if vaping is less harmful, less expensive, less illegal, etc, isn't quitting altogether COMPLETELY free, legal, and healthy?

 

Free, now THAT is a word us Sagittarius like. And us cheap skates.

About us

QuitTrain®, a quit smoking support community, was created by former smokers who have a deep desire to help people quit smoking and to help keep those quits intact.  This place should be a safe haven to escape the daily grind and focus on protecting our quits.  We don't believe that there is a "one size fits all" approach when it comes to quitting smoking.  Each of us has our own unique set of circumstances which contributes to how we go about quitting and more importantly, how we keep our quits.
