think they had to after parent organisation came out in favour

They have spat most of it out through gritted teeth though, putting the most negative
spin on the positive message that they could, never mind though - they will get more
comfortable with their new position over time - its all new to them at the moment.

I agree, the use the phrase "there is no scientific consensus" a lot where they could have used "there is no evidence".

I noticed this about patches

one better quality randomised controlled trial from New Zealand found an e-cigarette with relatively poor nicotine delivery was about as effective as a medicinal nicotine patch

Tbh it reads like someone was standing over the author with a large stick,
You can pick out their anti tendencies but overall the message is positive.

Hi Jane,

I saw this and I'm glad you're pleased.

Unfortunately the NHS is unlikely to recommend the use of these until safe, medically regulated ones become available.

Cheers

My reply

Don't know what exactly you're vaping though LOL

I think he needs to meet my vtr LOL

On the plus side went to the chest doctor at the surgery for some unrelated to vaping and he said 'are you still vaping' - I'm like 'yeah and loving it' - 'can I see you're latest e-cig then?' - promptly take it out my bag and he near enough well....handles it LOL (twas my VTR)

'No chest infections in 3 years Doc and I got one worth €110 (maybe more) yesterday off classies for £50'


'Bargain!!! keep vaping then!'

Receptionists downstairs equally pro

'better for you than smoking'
'Do you want some website cards?'
'Yeah my Dad has one and would love to find out more'

Happy girlies
