Who doesn't know Hon Lik? The great Hon Lik, the Chinese inventor of the e-cigarette! By discussing with other players of the vape in France, we wondered who was going to be able to resist the financial offers of big tobacco… Well in any case it is not Hon Lik who, as we know, clearly gave in to the sirens of the tobacco industry and now finds himself making the ambassador for cigalikes that we would not even dare to touch! Some might consider him as a living god, someone to be thanked for, others as a traitor, as a person who invented a revolutionary product and who now turns completely away from the health interest that it could. to have. In any case Paris Match met him in London, took his hand in the bag and ready to announce the launch of “Jai”, this Imperial Tobacco cigalike which will be found at all French tobacconists. What can we learn from this interview with the inventor of the e-cigarette? Well, there is an air of betrayal floating in the air ...
"A TOBACCO INDUSTRIAL IS THE BEST PLACED TODAY TO DISTRIBUTE THE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE"
Well at least, the title is clear! In his interview, Hon Lik do not hide it! For him, his invention must be distributed by the tobacco industry: " The electronic cigarette is today the best alternative to the traditional cigarette and a tobacco manufacturer is best placed to spread it.". Moreover, he does not stop there and clearly explains that current stores and suppliers will not be able to do it correctly: “ If other companies broadcast it, they will face different obstacles". Hon Lik did invent the e-cigarette, on the other hand, he does not really have the same values as us vapers ...
"EUROPEAN REGULATIONS WILL ALLOW A HEALTHIER DEVELOPMENT OF THE ELECTRONIC CIGARETTE"
Better and better ! There is a lot of nonsense to say our dear Hon Lik! After taking a stand for the tobacco industry, he now explains to us that PDT is a good thing and that it “ is intended to preserve the health of consumers and also protect non-smokers from passive smoking.". We hadn't thought about it! We can obviously read through the lines understanding that it will greatly promote the ineffective products that its friends from Big Tobacco are currently offering on the market. Not to mention the speech that follows: " The consumer will be able to buy electronic cigarettes as easily as traditional cigarettes. He will have access to a free and fair choice to buy either electronic cigarettes or traditional cigarettes." Oh? Where is freedom? We regulate, we forbid everything that makes the vape for years and we should call it a " access to a free and fair choice". We are really taken for idiots and if in addition the inventor of the e-cigarette gets down to it ...
"JAI MEETS THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF QUALITY IN CONTRARY TO OTHER PRODUCTS AVAILABLE ON THE MARKET"
It is exceptional this Hon Lik! Of the dream bar that he offers us with this declaration. So know that you are currently buying products that are not of quality! Because this is how we can interpret the words of the inventor: « This product meets the highest standards of quality, which I do not find in other products available on the market.". But be reassured because the "Jai" will be improved: " New patents are in progress. We will continue to improve our products. New models will be released soon, which will have a larger charging capacity.". Phew! Otherwise, we would have been worried about the future of vaping ...
"I ALWAYS FIND OUT LOOKING FOR THAT TOBACCO SENSATION, ITS TASTE AND STIMULATING EFFECT"
Obviously, we could only end with a cult phrase! The inventor of the e-cigarette loves tobacco, its disgusting taste and its stimulating effect which gives you the right direction to follow: Cemetery ! Why only advertise the Big Tobacco cigalike when you can couple it with a little advertisement of those dear killers. This man invented the e-cigarette anyway… And here is his speech: “ I can not smoke for one or two months, but I always end up looking for that tobacco sensation, its taste and its stimulating effect. ", It is simply amazing to read that! Finally he teaches us " In addition, for my research and development work, I try to taste and try different tobacco to adapt our products, both in terms of taste and nicotine concentration, according to the demands of different countries.". Well Hon Lik…. Stick to your cigarettes and your cigalikes ... We don't need a puppet who has sold his soul!
