Takes a different angle... it’s the metals which have caused irreparable damage on a woman’s lungs...

in California though :?:

The article goes on to say;

“Professor John Britton, director of the UK Centre for tobacco & Alcohol Studies and consultant in respiratory medicine at the University of Nottingham, suggested that the conclusions were not all they seemed.

He said there was no evidence of any cobalt particles in the lung samples and that claims made about vaping were wrong.
He added: “There is nothing in this new paper that should change advice to smokers. If you smoke, switch. If you don’t smoke, don’t vape. And just as you wouldn’t buy unlicensed alcoholic drinks, don’t vape cannabis or other bootleg products.”

I just heard in the radio news today, for the first time in Portugal, a real announcement from a health governamental department, totally advising against electronic cigarettes and the use of cannabidiol products, vitamin e acetate and flavours in general.

Vapocalipse inPortugal/Europe???

Not sure... My (haha) heads of consultancy or people of significant stature in medicine are still saying no problem

but it is worrying, if UK and/or nhs changes its tune then I might have to begin to pay attention and follow this :(
I really hope not

Ps wasn’t looking. Blasted over the internet adverts from; independent, guardian, sun etc...

    Meh...
    not exactly an objective viewpoint
    whether it is or isn’t forgettable isn’t a pressing concern
    (Ps. It is)

    let’s not argue though, I forgive you :)


    This is off topic. Just explaining that our medical professionals still hold the same positive view.
    However, I would pay attention to the articles, professionals etc
    Whether it be bias or unbiased, the sources it may come from
    (credible or not). Why wouldn’t you?

    You guys will be in a pickle if the UK turned against vaping. Over here we can stock up on nic before the hammer comes down, but you can't do that any more. Unless you buy thousands of tiny bottles I guess.

    everytime I think about it I’m fuming. Down to my last 200mls of 72 after the theft of litres of it
    :(

    if I run into the boy when it’s all gone and I’m 0 nic angry, it will be a pleasant discussion we have

    200 mls isn't much. I heard there were some get-arounds over there for nic. Sources in Europe and China and so forth.

    @Zutankhamun, have you a link for the information on business use of Nicotine please?

    As I'm thinking about how much it costs to register as a business at companies house in the UK, just wondering about a possible legal loophole.

    People have said it's doable but they won't say how on a public forum. I was wondering myself since I might be moving back over there.

    Don't know if it's still the case but back in the 80's you could buy an off the shelf pre-used company name. I got one for 300 pounds. It cost quite a bit more to set up a new one.

    I use a bulk UK based supplier of nicotine, a liter of 72mg is about 60 quid.
