  • Jeremy Eade,

    Yes about smoke dangers , but i believe spray and vapourisers are around and are trying to gain in popularity.


    Messing with the function of the lungs is dangerous but let's face it exhilarating once mastered, like messing with the liver. On Ciggies, I have heard that cigarettes these days are so much stronger chemically than even ten years ago?

    I think there are studies showing that cannabis smoking has been a factor in lung disease, to take one example.

    And presumably asthma doesn't like it?

    Speaking about lack of evidence, professional victim and metero-charlatan Ken Ring wails that he has been hounded out of business and into hiding.

    The fear of prosecution for inciting a riot has also silenced him on earthquake predictions.
    ...

    "They said it was like calling out fire in a crowded theatre and that's against the law - it's called the Riot Act, and inciting riot," Ring said.

    "My defence would be that the theatre is already on fire. All I'm doing is warning people of when and where the hottest spots will be.

    "I've been virtually told by Dr Nick Smith and Sir Peter Gluckman that I'm not qualified to put statements out about earthquakes. They will have me legally if I do that.

    ...

    He had reported four threats to police - once being told by an officer "it comes with the territory" - and has quit his Auckland home amid fears for himself and his family.

    "(John) Campbell relentlessly held me up to be a charlatan, a fraud, and everything he could think of," Ring said.

    "It's like I'm being burned at the stake like a witch. I thought those days were over."
