“War is peace. Freedom is slavery. Ignorance is strength.” ― George Orwell, 1984
It seems Dr. Cuomo would like to solidify her vast (Author of A World Without Cancer, contributor to WebMD, HuffingtonPost.com, etc.) knowledge of e-cigarettes and now assert it into the general public via the Huffington Post. Releasing a video, she claims e-cigarettes are (linked here if you must)”Just As Dangerous As Tobacco Cigarettes.” Sounds serious.
“Lunch cancer” even, to be exact, according to the facebook post:
Sounds even more serious.
Dr. Cuomo doesn’t ~ evidently ~ know how to do research on the subject she’s now an expert on, and it seems if they’re just as dangerous as tobacco, she’s eluding to continued smoking for the masses. Evidently – unwilling to understand science, she states combustible tobacco is just as dangerous as e-cigarettes. Not only is it as dangerous, e-cigarettes have chemicals NOT found in cigarettes. She has joined the ranks of the “please keep smoking” crowd.
Evidently, Dr. Cuomo didn’t make any effort to understand read the Public Health England report or spoken with the available resources listed on the right or left of this blog.
Maybe she’s trying really hard to get into the movie, A Billion Lives…. I don’t think that would help her credibility. It may however, in the end, contribute to future reference to those on the wrong side of the tobacco control world, denying harm reduction.
