Better reporting on e-cigarettes from the BBC...

Seems balanced. But it does feel a little bit like the argument for creationism. By even acknowledging the lies you give them credibility or at least credence.

Better & Reporting? Can we use those words as regards the BBC...that quality thing?

That chap is pretty fair on most things..till he starts dosing himself with dangerous stuff.

A few of us that go to the London meets are due to be filming with Michael Mosley on Friday I think for Horizon, tube strike allowing. It is just small section about ingredients, aldehydes and dry hit (how they are too nasty to vape) to be aired in April/May.

nice info page, hopefully more similar truthfull things will be published now especially with the announced demise of several TC lobbyists that have until now been "guiding " the likes of the BBC's slant on many things about so called public health .....

The Horizon programme is due to be shown at 21:30 on 22 May, BBC2, (except Northern Ireland when it will be shown at 22:25)  - www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b07c6ll4


"Michael Mosley investigates the dramatic rise in e-cigarettes. They're everywhere these days, but what does the latest scientific research surround them reveal? Michael will reveal what e-cigarettes are really doing to your health. Are they really better for you than cigarettes? What is actually in them? Is passive vapour harmful? And can they really stop you from smoking? Michael meets some of the scientists around the world studying them, asks a group of volunteers to try to give up smoking regular cigarettes using them and even takes up 'vaping' himself, smoking an e-cigarette every day for a month to see the effects on his own health - no easy task for such a committed non-smoker."

Damn it, I can't get BBC2, only BBC1 over here

Even using a VPN I get caught out now when trying to access something on iPlayer and they block me They actually say they detect me using a VPN would you believe

[car147]

Maybe the VPN needs changing as the whole idea for using one is to be able to access content that's Geo blocked.

If they can detect it , it's not up to the job toots .

I use Cyberghost and find it pretty good

That's the one I'm using, Cyberghost. Mind you it keeps telling me to update the version I've got but when I try that it just hangs and will not update. Maybe I need to uninstall it completely and reinstall the newer version.

[joeten]

The uninstall would be best.

The bit we did isn't mentioned in the summary which Postmodern Smoking posted above.  Maybe we didn't make the final cut (!)

Edit - maybe it is covered with "What is actually in them?"

Where's your optimism, oh you spend a large part of everyday working on vaping advocacy and probably read more negative BS than any human should have to deal with. It would be good if they found some even more pro stuff (RCS report) and replaced it with that, I still think it will be positive, because they were open and objective.
