[gibla53]

Have a read of it  here t.co/8N8LqjPBB0  

Loads of comments already posted .... can we add some more?

Comment left.

Left a comment. As I said there, I've raised money for Cancer Research for years. If they support the TPD with over-regulation of e-cigs I will never do so again.

Many people seem to have voted up the massive amounts of pro-vaping comments on the earlier blog, but few have downvoted the article itself (perhaps it's not clear that one can).

Please look at the bottom of this article (before the comments):

Good point made Barry I went back to try to do just that ....didn't want to let me do it it seems stuck on 23 . Maybe its an age thing (article not me ).

14 comments or so now made they are in process of being savaged again  as in the original blog(s)  - others prior to these 2

I never thought a charity could be so idiotic.

of course they can... look at their potential corporate donors....

I left a comment. I've stopped supporting them ages ago. My daughter came home from school once with a letter to sponsor them for something or other. A letter went back to the school telling them as a family we no longer support CRUK.

Charities can be as idiotic as centralised government ChillerVapes....there was one mental health drop in years ago that wouldn't let me use the inhalator cos (wait for this) ...'it looked like a cigarette'....no vape, nothing....just a plastic white tube

They were a charity with more concern about health and safety than recovery of their members LOL

Manipulation again,missing posts ...... and they have the gall to call it an award winning Scientific blog .. in all respects bloody shameful that a seemingly 

"worthy" charity has become no more than a PR campaigning outfit that pays its full time staff massively - no-one <£60k , its annual budget now spends 

far less on research than on salaries.

Posted a comment, and asked for email updates. Watch this space.
Yet another example of a Government body (I know it's a charity, but I am to say the least sceptical) which either hasn't thought this through properly, or is in the pocket of Big Pharma (I suspect the latter).
They certainly won't be getting my support any more - and neither will they get any from a great many others by the sounds of things.
FOr a charity which wants to help eliminate cancer from society, they seem to be going about it in a very strange way . . .

chykensa totally agree, they will not receive any further contributions from me or my friends and family.

Sponsored by `pharma` and `gov` party lines.

Shame on you CRUK.
