Official Ireland self contradictory.

Last night I watched a programme on the merits of E cigarettes.These contain nicotine and involve the inhalation of steam effectively.
The health Taliban have their eyes out on stalks trying either to have them banned,regulated or priced beyond the reach of ordinary people by limiting their availability to Chemists shops.
Not on the basis of any current of any health drawback but because,they say,there may or may not emerge in the future at some unspecified time such a health drawback.
My own belief is that they relish the way have routed and bullied the smokers of Irealand and want to continue to harass them as much as possible.
Now I contrast this approach  with the simultaneous bullying of the population of rural Ireland where the State is trying to force through the confiscation of farm land to erect electric pylons the height of Liberty Hall over the wishes of the owners.
Aside altogether from the promise of a fighting fund from the Government to those opposing the project,which I heard Damian English promise in a pre election meeting and which as far as I know hasn't been delivered ,when the health issue is raised,the standard answer from the proponents of the project is that there is no current evidence of health detrimental side effects from the current pulsating through the wires.
Not a word about possible  bad effects which may or may not arise at some unspecified time in the future.
No wonder we live in a State where one organ of Government,NAMA ,closes down another badly  needed hospital , throws  300 medics on the dole and further frustrates patients ,when the general public are fearful of going into hospitals for treatment in the first place.
