What are Those Selling Nicotine
Telling Those Dependent Upon It?
It is Freedom's policy not to attack or debate the culpability of those selling nicotine regardless of the delivery device as it does nothing to further our mission. As Joel reminds us, the tobacco and pharmaceutical companies work hard to get you to use their nicotine products while Freedom exists to help you stop using their products. That being said, much of what we teach here at Freedom is also now being openly admitted by those selling nicotine. In their own words, this is what they're saying ..."Cigarette Smoking and Disease in Smokers: We agree with the overwhelming medical and scientific consensus that cigarette smoking causes lung cancer, heart disease, emphysema and other serious diseases in smokers. Smokers are far more likely to develop serious diseases, like lung cancer, than non-smokers. There is no "safe" cigarette. These are and have been the messages of public health authorities worldwide. Smokers and potential smokers should rely on these messages in making all smoking-related decisions.""We support a single, consistent public health message on the role played by cigarette smoking in the development of disease in smokers, and smoking and addiction. This includes our support of legislation that requires cigarette manufacturers to place health warnings on packages and in advertisements, and our belief that governments and public health officials should determine the text of the warning messages."The World's Largest Seller of Cigarettes"It has been known for centuries that smoking may be difficult to quit. Public health authorities have reached differing conclusions in the past, but most now choose to determine that cigarette smoking is an addiction. We accept that the common understanding today is that smoking is addictive."
