Vaping/E-Cig Ban Discussion on Radio 5 Live Wed 16th Morning

[GunJack]

If you're up'n'about around 07:30hrs.....

I got a call from a researcher earlier (they had my details from making a nuisance of myself previously on BBC Radio Wales ) to see if I was available, so fingers crossed it happens and goes well.

Apparently they've got a doc from the BMA's Welsh section on in support of public places ban, might be the same bloke I managed to shoot down in flames last time out.....

and good luck if you are involved.

May the force truth be with you!

No matter who it is give them hell, Just have all the info open in your browser to refute whatever they say that is nonsense. You know the drill. Best of luck.

[GunJack]

Sorry guys, it was a very short piece, biased towards the doc, not enough time to counter his points, let the side down a bit there

[Deleted]

they had some professor from Stirling Uni/Cancer research on radio 4 against a numpty - she did very well but they were biased (started and finished with the numpty)

think of the chillun was the basic argument from the numpty

[GunJack]

Just had another call, the Your Call 9-10 will be about it also.....

  GunJack...you have done so much for us vapers...keep up the good work   

[GunJack]

that last half-hour was much better, don't think the doc had any evidence/stats to back up his dodgy theories

[Richard46]

Amusing that some callers where objecting to vaping because it looks cool while one rather frantic chap was objecting to it because it didn't.

Graham, I just listened to the first part and I think you did really well.

That Pratt was spouting all the usual GUFF i.e. Gateway, We don't know what's in them, targeted at kids.

You did really well rebuffing him.

Well done!
