Probably best to ignore all marketing.
Not a terrible idea. If you met some dude who talks you up about how he is the best in his field, would you believe him?

The best goods need no marketing.

Sugar is still marketed for its ''goodness''.

A good rule. Next time a politician puts a message on a bus, just look away.

Is that a veiled reference to a certain TV celebrity who has unfortunately been elevated above his ability?

Anybody.

If somebody is the top of their field, or the best at something, you likely will already know about it. Even if it's in something obscure that you don't know about it, you will recognize it in their work.

Marketing is just lying.

I have no problem ignoring the words of Mr Cummins however I regret the lack of ability to discern fact from fiction from those more easily misled than myself.

Those deaths are from homemade cannabis vaping. Has nothing to do with e cigarettes.
No, they are from both nicotine and THC vaping liquids.
Vaping is more heavily regulated in the UK and so far no such lung diseases have been recorded.
So, don't buy homemade shit from shady people down the alley if you treasure your health. Same as booze.
No science degree required.

US President Donald Trump has announced that his administration will ban flavoured e-cigarettes, after a spate of vaping-related deaths.

Mr Trump told reporters vaping was a "new problem", especially for children.

US Health Secretary Alex Azar said the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) would finalise a plan to take all non-tobacco flavours off the market.

There have been six deaths and 450 reported cases of lung illness tied to vaping across 33 states.

Many of the 450 reported cases are young people, with an average age of 19.

Michigan this month became the first US state to ban flavoured e-cigarettes.

Trump supports my doubts about vaping so obviously I have to change my position as it is clearly pantywaist nanny state interference in our individual rights and freedoms.

It's about getting regulations in place so that a few big companies can take over by implementing licencing and trials that are prohibitively expensive for small companies.

So do we use those backstreet guys now, in order to stick it to the man?
