A splash of sanity

So I typed 'e-cigarette' into Google and restricted the news results to 24 hours. Amongst the usual scores of stories about restrictions, poisonings, fires associated with e-cigs rather than with batteries, scare stories about e-cigs being bad for you etc. - tiresome isn't it - I found something good, and I thought I'd share:

Yeah, I too think this is kind of significant, even if it seems a bit low key. If the UK's NHS starts to embrace e-cigs it is a significant big deal.

"...these people should not be told to stop (ecigs) if there is even the smallest risk they might go back to smoking tobacco cigarettes."

Sensible!

Wow, great!
Looks like the people who work in public health - at the working level, the ones who actually see real people and know the concerns of the real people - have seen reason. YEAH for Scotland!

I do hereby take back everything I've ever said about Scottish men in skirts.
