E-Cig discussion on BBC Radio 2 at midday...................

[Sandra (aka Chillax)]

I sent in but it was ignored.
Quite balanced, your always gonna get the ignorant dislikers with everything.

I'm probably biased but I thought the guy who walked out of the restaurant came over as a right nob!

Thanks for the heads up, few posts went on Facebook, more yeahs than nays, lovely to see

Apparently he misquoted HifiStud, so we'll here more about that I hope.
Sent many a tweet but not read out.

Again though a tiny piece to grab some attention squeezed into the shows end.
No in depth talk with misinformation and prejudice flying about.

I never did like Wetherspoon's so no loss there for me at least.
Cigarettes are banned indoors so why should we allow e cigs line of argument - again they know nothing about the subject and can't be arsed to find out.

He sounded very like my mate I posted about a couple of days ago, even if a really good scientific result came out, which proved as far as they could that 2nd hand vapour was no menace to anyone else. They would still not want to allow it.

Vaping best point, that it looks and feels so much like smoking, is also it's worst point with the public.

Half decent bit on R2, but I wish people would stop referring to it as "smoking", when it clearly isn't.

It wasn't that good, 2 guys from either ends of the spectrum, a ecig producer and an anti, the ecig bloke didn't ask the questions, nor made the points, he should have.

Then 4 ish callers in, 2 for, 2 against. not much said of import, apart from vocals from angry anti ecig guy who didn't want people to vape in pubs.

Available on catch up I suppose.

But like the R2 Vine show now, short moments of speech followed by music, not that much discussion after the initial talk from the 2 "experts". Shame, I remember Jimmy Young was much better, but maybe that's just me.

The subject matter of the show was about banning their use indoors, and not the regulation. I've got no real issue about not being to vape indoors, even if I DO want to, so long as I CAN vape something worth vaping.

Look on the bright side, Jeremy didn't scream "Eurgh they're disgusting" and choke his guts up on live radio.

I thought that a non smoker and non vaper, trying an ecig live was a pretty stupid stunt. He could have coughed his guts up easily and who could blame him tbh.

As others in the thread said though, different colour LED's mean different flavour juices.

He didn't mention yellow/amber for vanilla custard though
