This Doctor Pissed Me Off


Today, another person and or doctor is using their own beliefs about electronic cigarettes and ignoring the science that is being published on what it seems is a daily basis. I also believe that the sky is green, we have sent people to the planet Neptune, and that pigs can fly. Here’s an exact quote from this so called doctor who ignores science to implement his personal beliefs. I thought they weren’t supposed to do that.

Q. Are electronic cigarettes a good alternative to smoking?

A. As far as I’m concerned, the nicotine in electronic cigarettes makes them no better than regular cigarettes. Nicotine causes addiction; if you’re using an e-cigarette, you’re not going to cut that addiction.

Although E-Cigs are a relatively new product the science has been published that not only are they a healthier alternative to smoking they do in fact help smokers of traditional cigarettes to quit smoking. Here is a little excerpt from another article that completely dispels what that doctor said.

To be clear here, this isn't a controversial claim. Or rather, it shouldn’t be. The Food and Drug Administration admitted the same thing itself in an offhand remarkat a Senate hearing on tobacco products. A group of 50 top global scientists agreed,saying e-cigs could "save hundreds of millions of lives."

HOW DO YOU LIKE THEM APPLES!

He also said that there a good chance that non-smokers would use electronic cigarettes as a gateway to start smoking regular cigarettes. What a load of entire crap. We all know that this is far from the truth and just the murmuring of an uninformed doctor. Did he purchase is doctorate at Wal-Mart or something.

Let me continue before I get mad. We all know the rumors behind the e-liquids and how they pose a threat to the entire human race because they have flavor in them and that kids will immediately want to smoke electronic cigarettes because of that. Well, I guess they better ban all alcohol sales too, because last time I checked I could go to my local convenient store and pick up some flavored vodka. I guess kids are running out there doors to get that too. This ploy by the prohibitionist to make you believe that flavor is to be a concern is just them running out of stuff to talk about. Here’s an idea, supervise your kids a little better, teach them discipline, and you won’t have to worry about it.

He also had the nerve to say that Propylene Glycol was a toxic substance and a close cousin to automotive anti-freeze. Did you hear the word “close?” That means that it is not the same thing. Get your facts straight before you go blabbing them to the whole world on the internet.

This type of stuff just really strikes a chord with me because once again just like many politicians the facts are being twisted to meet some hidden agenda. Well, I quite frankly am sick of it. It’s this type of stuff that can stifle a whole entire industry leaving me the little guy to close down my already small business.

In conclusion, I would like to say thanks to all the complete liars out there giving me something to blog about today and to keep it coming so I can snuff you out with my words.

Yea, let me just stop inhaling this delicious tasting thing so that I can move on to sucking on a thing that tastes like butt coming out of some teat.

You asked his opinion, and he gave it to you. Why be pissed off? E-cigs might not be any better than regular cigs. We don't really know what they are doing to us do we? In twenty years we might all die of some weird disease that we don't know about. Hell, it might not even be from the vapor, but something as strange as having batteries in close contact with our bodies, or something even stranger we can't even imagine. We are using the lesser of two evils, but that doesn't really doesn't make us safe from harm. Nicotine is still bad for us, no matter what the delivery device. We are reducing the harm tobacco causes us (hopefully) and not preventing it. That's just my opinion. Take it or leave it.

Ask your doctor if he eats ice cream, Because ice cream contains Propylene Glycol. So do a lot of other foods we eat every day.

If you look at the way he answered the question he is right, In the context of how he carefully phrased his response around the addiction to nicotine only!
The conversation quoted does not go into anything other than nicotine addiction.

Q. Are electronic cigarettes a good alternative to smoking?

A. As far as I’m concerned, the nicotine in electronic cigarettes makes them no better than regular cigarettes. Nicotine causes addiction; if you’re using an e-cigarette, you’re not going to cut that addiction.

you can not argue with any of those statements.

My Dr. on the other hand does not talk about the adiction of nicotine but the benefits of not smoking. However the last apt was a physical. He did say my lungs sound good and only talks abou the facts now. He has backed of his rant that it is just water vapor and was more nuetral on the subject.

I have been seeing the same Dr. for 27 years. I could tell that he has taken an opinion that his malpractice lawyers have informed them of not endorcing these things until the long term science is out there.

These people have to walk a tite rope between fact and belief every day. Years ago many Dr. smoked and said that smoking was ok. You use to be able to smoke in a Hospital room when i was in my early 20's. Now you can not smoke on hospital property!

I remember the day my father got a CAT scan to assess his brain tumor. The doctor told him he had 4-6 months... 13 years later, he passed on. The long term science was there, and the doctor was still wrong. I guess I'm a realist, I have friends that have vaped for almost 10 years.. They aint dead yet.
Thats good enough for me.

I do not tow the line of the whole Dr.s are better than anyone kind of bullshit. What they are good at is absorbing horribly complex crap. On the whole the vast majority of doctors I have run into are some of the dumbest people gracing this planet, no seriously 95% of the doctors I have dealt with are barely functioning social retards. They are the poor souls the picked on dorks beat the shit out of feel better about getting their asses kicked.
The FDA has cowed most doctors from being healers into line towing lemmings, name a time your dr. did not spout some fda mandated bullshit to you.

My rule of thumb that the dr. is completely full and shit and borderline fucktarded is if they suggest stuff like taking 1800+ ml of advil for a dislocated joint.
Advising diabetics to use aspertame loaded products.
Saying margarine is safer than natural products... Or spouts off about the FDA recommends anything with regards to my care outside of Rx.
