Women of the Year Awards 2015

2015 has seen much change in the THR world,especially since the landmark Public Health England report. The women we shall include in this years award have contributed enormously to the introduction of an evidence based pragmatic approach,largely but not solely confined to the UK.

We feel it appropriate that we update our 2014 version to include some additional names. There is no particular order or rank in this list of names (all have contributed equally).

In the News Annual 2015

Seasonal Greetings to One and All

As youngsters,it used to be a traditional treat at year-end and Christmas time to read such as the Dandy, Beano or indeed Dan Dare in the Eagle in their festive assembled annuals.

As a slight warning: it’s lengthy…..maybe tackle it month by month, and bookmark items of interest you may have missed previously.....

From the above post....

Norwegian Medical Association proposes to phase out smoking by 2035

Anyone born after 2000 shall not be able to purchase any tobacco product, including vaping products with the forecasted implementation of the TPD. This is what is being proposed by the Norwegian Medical Association (NMA – Legeforeningen) in order to achieve the goal of a smoke-free country by 2035.

Stunned.

I should have posted this a few days ago....this German petition is doing really well, but needs to hit 50,000 signatures by 20th Jan (it's currently on 23,265). You need to register with the German govt first - but it's really quite straightforward - especially if you look at this vapers.org.uk page first: Petition to the German Parliament
It's the only govt petition against the TPD which the Germans can have - it needs to succeed!
(please follow #germanpetition on Twitter for updates)

Stunned.

The British Medical Association (in the UK) have proposed this too - but I don't think they have any expectation of it happening.

I don't even know what to say. My jaw is still on the floor.
