Sky News doing big news segment on Ecigs this morning

[Blownupdolly]

Switch on sky news. Showing this every half hour or so. Got to go out now so can't say more till later.
Don't miss it.

[Perpetua]

Got it on now Dolly . . . Freeview Channel 82 for anyone like me who doesn't normally watch it and had to Google.

Watching now.

I hate Jodie marsh with a passion but she did well and put some great points across. Just a very weird person to pick.

"Get used to the taste of nicotine"... Typical nonsense from those who haven't done proper research.

It would have been nice to see a more credible spokesperson than Jodie Marsh, public opinion of her is split at best.

Edit -- Crossed posts with you there Rosco, but you highlight my Jodie comment perfectly

She's not exactly a scion of normality, if its that cuprinol freak you are referring to ...

Worth a watch. Some positive points were put across but also showed how misinformed a lot of people are.

It is worrying - the thought of under 18's having a go at vaping because they think it's 'cool' I personally think that trying to ban ecigs reinforces that 'cool' image. Teenagers are renowned for wanting to do anything they are not allowed to.

They mentioned some facts and figures and one of them was that 1% of school children have tried ecigs - I wish they'd also put up a figure of how many schoolchildren have tried cigarettes, around 25%; www.ash.org.uk/files/documents/ASH_108.pdf

Was horrified when I saw Jodie Marsh about to be interviewed and quizzed about vaping but she was pretty good and made a point about how science has proved vapour to be totally harmless and that it was the only way she could quit the stinkies without relapsing.

Who allows kids to use e-cigs at school? They are the ones who should be on the news and questioned not the innocent public who are trying their best at a healthier alternative.

Where were the 'qualified experts' for their opinion? left to one side as this would not have been as sensationalist as an ex-socialite who has gone on to boxing and body building. Don't think they thought she had half a brain and would have looked as daft as the school staff and made the controversy associated with vaping an even bigger issue for those who are ignorant.

We need even more scientific evidence before we are allowed to just get on with it without the do-gooders wanting to stamp their moral high heels into our ribs.

I was on my way out the door when I posted this thread. Just got home so not seen the extended bit with Jodie. Hope it comes back on.

[Blownupdolly]

Ooooh just said it coming on again in a few minutes so if you not seen it tune in now.

[Blownupdolly]

Who is the woman expert on Ecigs near the end of the segment? The dog started barking and I missed her name.
