This is how Manchester NHS is spending their money...

... on anti-vaping flyers and posters!!

Scary.

No messing about there then.

well isn't that depressing and very incorrect, which is a shame -- all my years attempting to quit, getting immediately stressed, irate, irrational and fixated/addicted ---- gets hands on a reasonable starter kit and not a blip, easy as pie! So I will take my chances vaping. Its just such a shame to know I wont get any support or praise if thats the attitude!

• There is NO PROOF they are NOT safe
• Giving up smoking & taking up vaping will INCREASE the oxgen levels in your body
• There is no proof that they are WORSE than established NRT helping people giving up smoking
• They MAY NOT make existing conditions like Asthma or COPD worse
• There is NO PROOF they are unsafe to use during Pregnancy but are probably much better than smoking (if you really have to)

E-Cigarettes ARE REGULATED

Ohhh I can't be arsed to go on with this crock that they have written! Just plain old SCARE MONGERING!

LASTLY - MOST E-cigarette Companies are NOT owned by tobacco companies.

TOTAL TOTAL TWADDLE!

I was expecting to see "written by S Glans, S Chapman and M Mckee" at the bottom.
Utter bollocks, every single word of it is rubbish.
Hope I never get sick in Manchester if the NHS trust there is that f***ing stupid!

I do find that poster somewhat upsetting, I'd like to think that me = finally becoming smoke free was supported? However I do it.... that's a NHS poster?!? in my next county ... tell you what, if my GP asks next time I'm there and isn't pro vaping I'm sure to be defensive!!

The irritating sound of Pharma! I smoked for 55 years, 3oz Golden Virginia a week and couldn't pack it in. Tried all the Pharma gear many times with no success. Vaping did it almost immediately with no bad temper or panic attacks. I'll continue vaping because I really like it AND it means no more stinkies.

i know! i used them for 6 weeks oodles ago then back on the fags. the NHS replacement stuff is highly unsuccessful. my point is.... i wish these companies and organisations would embrace the concept and method of ecigarettes. i'm finding it highly frustrating that they are putting up stumbling blocks each step of the way. i'd love to shake some sense into them but they are not listening to exsmokers who have used ecigarettes successfully

I know @spikeyfridge just couldn't resist

I know it's a serious situation at the moment but you really do just have to laugh sometimes
