I am glad you got home safely, when my Volvo bit the dust some months ago a nice fellow rescued me and towed me to the nearest town (he had big blond curls and looked the part of a cherub, a Volvo mechanic cherub)....and the tow home wasn't cheap but it all worked out. For now I am back to the bike, but hope for another vintage Volvo wagon, ie, tank to come my way. A van would be my next choice. A model T would be my fantasy choice, or a horse. Ok, 2 horses, a real chariot! I eschew modernity, though it is seldom avoidable. Are the horses glad we drive cars now? Probably. Good luck, I will put a matchbox van on my altar for your cause.

Thanks Jacquelyn. I've been meaning to get more recreation in a day, so a walk to work this week is most welcome. Meanwhile, I'll be keeping an eye out for another vintage vehicle to replace my beloved Audi. Perhaps even a 4x4 this time, to survive my home town's potholes!

Please look into the variable E-Cigarettes :

I am confident, this is one of the biggest bombshells:

I agree, this is another totally unregulated industry, and it's so obvious that vaping would be bad for health. Perhaps you would like to speak on a Better Way Today session on this subject, Manu? Please contact linda@worldcouncilforhealth.org.

Thank you, Tess. I will write an email addressed to you.

I'm a 10 year + vaper having previously smoked 20+ tobacco cigarettes for close to 35 years. My cardio vascular capability has not been compromised, in fact I can clearly state that it has improved dramatically since I ditched tobacco cigarettes. I fought to ensure that e-cigs did not become a medical product, which was the aim of Pharma when the EU's latest Tobacco Products Directive was being revised around 2016. Always follow the money as vaping was a threat to Pharma not Big Tobacco. Pharma hated e-cigs as they eliminated/reduced the harm and subsequent profits they earned from treating tobacco smoking generated health conditions. Smokers ditching tobacco smoking for vaping would have hit Big Pharma's pipeline of future profits. I produce my own e-liquid as opposed to purchasing any shop bought product so I can't comment on commercial products/liquid although it should be noted that vaping is now a regulated industry (following the EU's revised Tobacco Products Directive, which incidentally failed to classify e-cigs as "medicinal products" which was the aim) and e-liquid comprises only 4 ingredients - Vegetable Glycerine (VG), Propylene Glycol (PG) Nicotine and flavourings. I suspect that with the reported excess deaths of the young following the covid bio-weapon roll out that an alternative cause will be sought/generated and vaping is a prime example. A decent source of e-cig related scientific evidence is a Greek cardiologist Dr Farsalinos who I might add is also a vaper. Here's his thoughts on the American Heart study you quote and frankly I'd be very wary of ANY study from NIH too in light of the Covid jabs and Fauci's involvement.

I haven’t been ill for a decade, not even a cold. However, after moving houses, we've been experiencing symptoms due to chain-vaping neighbors for months. It's disheartening how some people believe inhaling these substances all day can't have an impact on health. People can become accustomed to health drawbacks and accept them as normal, especially in cases of addiction. Why not just chew tobacco if it's about nicotine? That way, others are not assaulted by the smell and health hazard. No one would complain; everybody wins.

So if I understand you correctly your neighbours who I trust live in a different house to you with at least solid walls between your residence and theirs have supposedly been the cause of your new "symptoms" which you don't name but nevertheless have claimed without any evidence to be down to their "chain-vaping" which is also problematic as I'm struggling to understand how you can even see what they are doing considering that they live in a different house to you. Manu my friend your assertions lack credibility, evidence or even any fundamental logic. I suspect you have a different agenda being here.

Your reaction hints that you haven’t read my Substack at all. May I suggest reading it first and then contemplating what you've taken in? If you find substance in your thoughts, feel free to share them. Thank you!

Your assumptions make you appear desperate; we live in the same house, and their windows are right next to ours. You might want to check out your own bias first next time.

If only I wasn’t surviving on a basic pension since the sudden loss of my husband in his sixties. I pray there are financially stable people who can & will help. We can tell you how much we appreciate your work, however it’s donations that are desperately needed.🤗
