down near the bottom is a stern 'invite' from an Irish vendor named Mick-well worth a read.

Some excellent comments, tho Mick's comment in particular is well worth the read. I think I'm doing this right: here is a link that should take you right to his comment:

ETA: Link didn't take me quite there. Easier to hit END and scroll up, or CTRL-F to find "Mick".

Your link took me right to it Ania

I added a comment, and I have to say that I did not pull any of my punches. In consideration of the audience, I used the UK / EU spelling for "flavor". Mine is not too far below Mick's.

Excellent, Vocalek!

Added a comment when I came across this in their page on other plant derived drugs.

It is not for Cancer Research UK to comment on the legal status of ........, its use or abuse as a recreational drug, or its medical use in any other diseases

Vocalek, I enjoyed your comments immensely. I hope these folks actually read these comments.

Extremely good points and very good reader comments. I really hope that overall vaping continues the course it is on. Instead of making it like tobacco or medicine, sorry to say this should be a wake up call for all the pill peddling companies, and tobacco companies. Make something worthwhile and BAM it sells without all the advertising b.s.

The comments to this article have turned into a blog of sorts. Robert Innes is the main contributor and if time is short, just search for and read his posts. (I'd be interested to know if he's a member of ECF...)

Alison Cox-your name is 'also in lights', vapers now number in millions-worldwide, jobs related to e cigarettes now number in tens of thousands worldwide, revenue generated by this market is climbing and at this point relates to 'doubling growth' year on year, the potential for 'lives saved' in the UK alone are rapidly leaving *approvedFAILED NRT* in their wake-
if you are not a part of the solution, you are a part of the problem-join us.

*slightly under 5% long term success using approved NRTs

Welcome to ECF, StopSmo, and thank you! Thank you for joining us, and thank you for your contributions to the CRUK "shelling"! I've enjoyed every post on that site and have bookmarked it to go back and read new posts. I don't particularly like giving CRUK the "hits," but your posts and your colleagues' there are worth it...
