Mmmm - cigarettes

There’s something a little odd about health shops selling a product that gives you a hit of nicotine via an electronic cigarette device, which is now endorsed by a South African model.

Plants use nicotine as a type of poison to protect themselves against insects and humans get addicted to the stuff which has no nutritional benefit. Healthy? Far from it! And in California – the safety of these products is starting to be questioned.

Last year, an FDA analysis found that e-cigarettes contain carcinogens and toxic chemicals – including an ingredient used in anti-freeze. The FDA, which seized several shipments of e-cigarettes, is embroiled in a court battle with e-cigarette manufacturers over whether the agency has the authority to regulate the product.

Nicotine is a drug. If we could get 100% pure Afgan heroin from an electronic dispenser and buy it from Wellness Warehouse, TheSkim would have a permanent smile on his face and we wouldn’t have to worry about putting Clarins dark skin foundation through as a business expense.

Something just doesn’t feel right here. Surely the product should at least warn you about the addictive properties of nicotine?
