This whole business of Soubry being kicked upstairs somehow makes me nervous. How apt that she has been moved to defence. At least she has a proven track record that she is in favour of killing people.

There are additional safety precautions that can be taken when charging batteries. I read somewhere that flame proof bags are available to contain batteries during charge, does anyone know where? Another idea would be to place the battery in a tin can, thus preventing it from setting fire to worktops etc. Ideally, you need a can with a push on lid, with vent holes punched in it to allow gasses to escape. During sudden gas venting, a battery can act like a small rocket for a few seconds. So place something heavy on top of the tin lid. Hopefully this will contain any battery explosion, and render it a non event.

That is interesting, and presumably legal. After all there have been cases of schoolkids being given NRT without their parents consent, and ending up in hospital with a nic overdose. There is a danger that the ANTZ will twist this into anti e cig propaganda, however.

I have done it and ask you please to do the same. Together we can stop the bitch in her tracks, and really give her something to throw a pissy fit about.

OMG talk about you couldn`t make it up. And I always thought it was Americans who couldn`t grasp the concept of irony. Jewel in the crown? More a case of the Emporer `s new Clothes, I would say.

gaura. Everything you say is logical. However, when greed comes in the door, logic goes out the window. Sweden has the lowest smoking rate in the civilised world, and the lowest rates of cancer. All down to Snus. Did the European Parliament encourage us to use Snus? Not exactly, they banned it.

It`s a very long time since I worked as an employee, having been self employed for many years before I retired. Employers range from the brilliant to the abysmal. I spent a year as a Union Shop Steward, which believe me is a very difficult job to do, if there is any trouble, you are automatically involved in it. I always found diplomacy to be the best approach. If there are only a few vapers compared to smokers, I would have a word with the immediate supervisor, and get permission to stand close to, and upwind of the smoking shelter. Have umbrellas handy for rainy days. That way you can still chat to your smoking pals without breathing their smoke. Sometimes, a good old British compromise is the answer.
