The American Lung Association is saying they would rather someone quit, not die! Someone has taken it to the extreme on a blog by stating The American Lung Association would rather have someone die, than switch.

The blogger has taken it out of context.

They're saying they want you to quit the way it benefits the people who pay big money to them to only recommend using pharmaceuticals to do it.

Well of course! They are not saying they would rather have you die?

No, but they don't need to push vaping aside as an alternative based solely on junk science which is what they are doing either!

Yep, and I'm not big on conspiracy theories but I am finding it ironic that we're legally required to pay ludicrous prices for government health care in the midst of this. If we smoke, they're still making money off us. If we quit the way they "tell us to," they're still making money off us. If we neither smoke or vape, they've still got Monsanto, GMO's, and air pollution to fall back on to keep us in the doctor's office, so hey.....I feel more like a lab rat every day.

That was a mouthful and so true!
