Only one thing is right in that:

and the nicotine in them is as addictive as the nicotine in cigarettes

I guess that means nicotine is nicotine, I was wondering what it was.

Terrible article, but we do need to vote at the bottom peeps, only 59% say they should not be banned at the moment, this is much lower than similar votes in the past... the misinformation is starting to seep into the subconscious of the masses

[autumntwist32]

61% now

[prr]

What a complete and utter load of sh-te.

Horrendous article picking and choosing its sources for information.

Some of the worst studies ever published in scientific journalism quoted as 'experts'.

Makes me mad that most who will read this will just take it at face value and believe it.

Just outrageous.

60% no. Still too close . just vote, you dont have to register, just click the button of your choice

Unbelievable... and the idiot can't even spell...

"community heath threat".

Did they give this job to a 'work experience' reporter to come up with something 'sensational'

Give up smoking AND vaping to dodge cancer risk, health chiefs warn

OK I'll not get into a car or on a bus, or even go out of the front door!

Current research is showing it's not, Nicotine when smoked has a very different effect
otherwise NRT wouldn't even manage it's 10% success rate. Whilst nicotine in foods has 
no addictive effect.

I obviously need to do some reading. Have you any links handy markm?

OMG

“There is a lot of misinformation about e-cigarettes."

... yes.. and this article is at the top of the misinformation charts.

Professor Peter Killeen explains here:

markm I've watched that. All he explains is the difference between smoking and vaping. I restate 'nicotine is nicotine'.  it's only addictive in cigarettes because of the other chemicals.

I never said nicotine is addictive. I said 'nicotine is as addictive as nicotine', assuming it to be non-addictive. Can get confusing though, when we've just come from a time when it was believed that it was.
