nah, just got lucky

it seems to be once they have your details in relation to a topic they get spread around, and there's a lot of BBC to be spread across

[toots]

Cheers - will be listening to that later - can't wait to hear your interview GunJack

[DiscoDes]

It may be worth while having some details about the ASH study into Vaping and the Cancer Research stance on Vaping handy.

Also a good source of information : www.rjwest.co.uk/index.php

Especially the data about the "Gateway effect" and Flavours.

Hong Lik invented the E-cigarette in 2003 and they were mass produced by Ruyan from 2006 so this product has been available for 10 years.

I hope the above may be of use to you, though you probably know these things already.

There was an hour long phone in with Nicky Campbell on five live this morning in relation to the Welsh issue. Decent discussion but harped on about the usual carp of gateway to smoking for youngsters and a complete misconception of the dangers of nicotine.

thanks Des, I did quote the good Prof. West, Smoking Toolkit, and the circa 70% of adults who regard flavours as very important
