Good stuff from Katherine

[matt1988]

Very good stuff from Katherine and managed to throw in liscened NCPs being handed out in schools and then overdosing on them.

She did get a little heated though, but got her points across very well indeed. Well done Miss (?) Devlin

I find the ASH argument quite appalling and would expect better from them,a parent is going to leave a bottle of e liquid with its top off for a child with the capabilities of squeezing the e juice into his mouth reason for greater regulation,sorry this smacks off the nanny state and using the child card which seems to be popular atm,a irresponsible person is a irresponsible person,just as likely to leave a bottle of aspirin in a child's reach or forget to supervise properly when they wander in front of a car,so lets all sit at home and eat organic salad and never wander out into the real world.

ASH DO BETTER

Oh and well conducted Katherine

It's funny because we had someone from ASH on the radio a while ago with Dave Dorn and he was all for ecigs. Strange, a split in the organisation by the sound of it, which does hold up hopes that they may change their minds.

[alanfinal]

Seems to me they want to say on one hand we support E cigs,but on the other lets support ridiculous regulation,then which ever way it swings.they will not have been in the wrong,seems a cowardly middle of the road approach from another questionable organization.

[farzooks]

That wan from ASH Scotland wasn't too much of an anti - in fact, I thought she came across reasonably well, except that she was fishing for reasons to regulate and you could tell that she would really be much happier about the whole thing if they were simply outlawed or taxed to death.
This whole e-cig palaver has got ASH running around like headless chickens - they've been forced to acknowledge that e-ciggery is undoubtedly a better thing than smoking but the ingrained anti-smoking part of them keeps popping its reflexive head out.
