Heard the last of that last night on going to bed. Just listened to it - reporter made Glantz look like a deluded fool!!!

No mention of big pharma but still. Slightly bias but had some good folk on it

Love ya Barrucuda Vape!!!

I remember the original programme (this was a year-later update). Some good positives in there, but still shows a lack of understanding by some medical people

But is it lack of understanding or just more muddying  of the waters by their paymasters orders.They cannot field proof so they just have to sow doubts

fair point Ron but even so isn't it about time the facts were allowed to come to the fore without all the political spin slapped on top??

The point the anti's were making about dual use of ecigs and real ones.

I don't know anyone that vapes AND smokes..........does that even happen?

yes it does...but usually one will win out over time e.g. a guy in work has, despite starting vaping almost 3 years ago, only just stopped his 5-6 fags a month

even if people are reducing the number of fags, the ANTZ still aren't happy.... I'd love to have a face-to-face with Glantz, let him try and call me an anecdote, or a shill, or any of the other supposed things that ex-smoking vapers are

sorry, rant over, but even the sound of his voice goes through me
