Pure Cigs ReviewsBased on Editor Review

I was a little skeptical about the Pure Cigs Electronic Cigarettes. They are a newer brand and in my experience some of the newer brands still have some glitches that need to be worked out. However I was looking for a brand of reasonably priced electronic cigarettes that I could give as a gift to someone, and not only were the Pure Cigs Electronic Cigarettes very reasonably priced, but they were also supposed to be very similar to the V2 Cigs which is my brand.

You know what I most liked about the Pure Cig? The battery. I ve been using V2 Cigs for a couple of years, and having used the Pure Cigs Electronic Cigarette the battery alone has me thinking about making a permanent change. This battery never seems to run out of juice. It runs more than 3X s longer than the V2 cig batteries. I was also very impressed with the locking mechanism on the battery. The lock meant I didn t have to worry about the e cig turning on when I had it in my pants pocket.

Price $19.99

Why the delay on plain packs for cigarettes? – comment – voices – the independent

Best electronic cigarette

With such a high attrition rate, it’s no surprise that the tobacco companies kick and scream whenever someone suggests measures to discourage smoking. They did it in Australia when the government proposed legislation to enforce plain packaging they lost that battle, but they’re doing better in the UK where the Government has announced a delay in introducing similar proposals.

The Health Secretary, Jeremy Hunt, said in a written statement yesterday that he wants to see the impact in Australia before going ahead in this country, but the delay makes no sense at all. Plain packaging is actually a misnomer it involves brand names in plain type, overshadowed by huge health warnings and photographs of gangrenous limbs are hardly likely to encourage anyone to take up the habit. So the Government had nothing to lose by making the change, and potentially a lot to gain in terms of improving public health.

To anyone who’s witnessed the dire effects of smoking on a friend or relative, the decision is indefensible. I remember vividly how the final 18 months of my father’s life were blighted by lung cancer he died at the age of 63, too young to enjoy the retirement he’d saved for throughout his working life. He got hooked in his teens, and it’s obvious that getting people young is the most effective way of creating lifelong addicts.

Critics of the Government’s decision suspect another Australian connection in the shape of the Tories’ election campaign manager, Lynton Crosby. His company, Crosby Textor, does not reveal its clients but is said to have long standing links with the tobacco industry in Australia, where the three biggest companies spent $5m on their campaign against plain packaging.

The Conservative MP Sarah Wollaston demanded “clarity” on Crosby’s role in this and another controversial announcement, shelving a minimum price for alcohol Labour’s Diane Abbott asked why the Tories were backing down on a proposal they supported before David Cameron gave a job to Crosby. Cameron insists Crosby hasn’t lobbied him but refuses to say whether they’ve discussed plain packaging.

One thing is clear. Few modern industries kill as many of their customers as the tobacco companies. They’ve managed to persuade more than a quarter of people in their twenties to take up the habit, despite all the evidence of damage to health. Ministers should hang their heads in shame for not doing everything possible to encourage them to give up and for failing to protect the next generation from this pointless, health destroying habit.
