Decent article about ecigs + UK in the Guardian

[Cocorosa]

It's worth a read, as are the 550 comments at the foot of it (sit down, vape on, it will make you smile and groan at the same time )

Boom in e-cigarette sales divides smoking campaigners | Society | The Guardian

Possibly the highlight quote (of several) comes from Martin McKee, professor of European Public Health at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, who is totally wrong but at least honest enough to admit that his objection against ecigarettes is actually about the normalisation of smoking as opposed to health:

"McKee acknowledges that a lot of people in public health say e-cigarettes are much safer than tobacco. "Absolutely, but that is not the issue here," he said. "They are missing the point."

And if you do find it, it's also worth following the link to the Daily Mash piece ;o)

Something in the Motley Fool today too. Basically talking about how much money BT is loosing and what they are trying to do about it, like buying e-cig companies.

Sadly BT are the only ones with enough money to play the game the government's way, and our lot are far too duplicitous to see the irony in it.

What i do like is the indefensible position of the UK government and a very concise definition of harm reduction as opposed to abstinence, since the 'quit or die' nonsense has clearly failed according to the death figures.
