Two posts from today - enjoy!

1. News Review 27th September

This is the week that was….

The recurring theme of the week was the gathering crescendo of support for the Totally Wicked(TW) Legal Challenge to Article 20 of the TPD(Tobacco Products Directive). Also Tobacco Industry reduced risk products and e-cig co. buyouts seemed to attract much debate.

A widely covered story of a 14 year-old schoolboy with an e-cigarette highlighted the grey areas of proxy-purchase and the paradox of under 18’s (prior smoking) e-cigarette usage, which will be further muddied with up-coming laws from October 1st.


2. Diversity in the Marketplace - from Kristin Noll-Marsh, CASAA

My 66 year old, smoking aunt has watched nearly my entire family switch from smoking to vaping over the past 6 years. She never showed any interest – “too much fuss” she said, so we never pushed it. We even set up a smoking area, on our screen porch, for her when she moved in with us a few weeks ago.....

Smoking is normal

That one is a very interesting piece by Carl Phillips. I really like it. So far, at least. I've gotten through about 1/3 of it, for now...

Smoking is normal, and acknowledging that is part of proper tobacco harm reduction
