Apologies if this has already been reported on AAEC could not find it. This report aims to provide a fresh update on the use of harm reduction in tobacco smoking, in relation to all non-tobacco nicotine products but particularly e-cigarettes. It concludes that, for all the potential risks involved, harm reduction has huge potential to prevent death and disability from tobacco use, and to hasten our progress to a tobacco-free society. www.rcplondon.ac.uk/projects/outputs/nicotine-without-smoke-tobacco-harm-reduction-0

Looks genuine to me especially as it has Lynne Dawkins name on it. However I would like to know what the population whose views are being sought is and how members of a vaping forum are likely to be respondents representative of that population? When I got my Masters at UEL (when it was the Poly) I am sure my research paper had to provide answers to such questions. Although it was a long time ago. Thank you for your questions Richard46 and nice to hear from a UEL alumnus. We are seeking to recruit any UK parents/carers of 11-18 year old children for this survey. We have employed a number of different recruitment methods (e.g. via local secondary schools, using parent forums such as MumsNet) alongside recruiting from vaping forums. By taking this holistic approach to recruitment, we hope to achive a representative sample. In addition, it is important to the research team that we attempt to target parents/carers who are also vapers - as I imagine many of you are aware, vapers' views are often ignored and therefore we would like to listen to both vapers and non-vapers in this study. Hi Richard Thanks for the prompt reply.

You & Yours (A consumer type programme) on Radio 4 just did a feature about the TPD. Towards the back end of the prog. I just caught the last of it. Will listen again later.

Wrong the TPD is not concerned with possession. Only sales. Lets be concerned about what the TPD actually says which is quite bad enough. sure I read a line in it about it applying regardless if you produced for personal consumption or sale ... Lets see what it says then; I could be wrong. What section was it?

Ron I believe the thing that will be the stumbling block here is the nozzle, a lot of bottle making companies supply different size nozzle tips and very few are what you would call securely fitted (needing dedicated effort to remove them) it will remove dripper bottles and eliminate several products on the market. it also applies to DIY juices, so regardless of what you mix up or intent to use if your caught out and about with anything other than a TPD compliant 10ml bottle (has required label markings) your possibly going to face prosecution for it, that's a couple of big differences to the original draft's proposed by our own government and is yet another example of the EU riding roughshod over national parliaments / Wrong the TPD is not concerned with possession. Only sales. Lets be concerned about what the TPD actually says which is quite bad enough.

I had the same issue though have since moved to 6mg. Now I diy though and I can see why, the nic is the most expensive part of the mix! Ummm, ever worked out the price of concentrates? Far more than the pennies per 100ml than nic... The flavouring concentrates are by a long way the most expensive element in my mixing.

Aspire Cleito - too hot for some people SMOK TFV4 - probably the best but coils are expensive and BIGAspire Triton v1 - my favourite - but hard to come by now that the v2 is on the shelves which I don't like as muchHorizon Arctic Turbo another favourite - takes up to 3 coils to reduce the resistance just my thoughts... Just given my Triton v1 to a desperate friend this morning (long story) and I probably will not see it again (they looked very pleased) so I was thinking of replacing it with a V2 as I liked the V1 a lot but in what way is the V2 not so good? Plus does anyone know if the V1 rebuild deck fits the V2 I presume it does? Edit sorry to hijack the thread.

Seems like an odd moment for a UK company to invest in selling bulk 7.2% nicotine base.

Started on Embassy regal ( well who didn't dip in the old man's packet) then when I started working I moved onto Club king size for a few years. Having moved on to lorry driving for a living, purchasing 10 x 50g pouches of any brand of tobacco was easier than stopping at the shop for a 20 deck and a great deal easier on the pocket. My last 6/7 years smoking, before a heart attack put an end to it, consisted of Drum and liquorice papers. In that time I think I only purchased 2 x 20 decks as they seemed a waste of time compared to a roll up. Funnily enough, I would have and did go without anything, if I, on the odd occasion, was unfortunate enough to run out of liquorice papers. Never bought a packet of conventional white cigarette papers coz they were rank. On reflection, I can now say the whole lot are rank rotten. That is interesting. The standard Red or Green Rizla type papers where (are) incredibly thick; thicker than the nitrate drenched paper on a ready made*. Red Rizlas gave me a headache very quickly. I always used Blue or later Silver Rizlas or the lovely thin OBI ones. I used unbleached hemp ones for a while as well. Actually when I stopped buying them they had all become quite expensive. I used to order about £40 worth at a time at least a couple of times a year. *I still wonder if the stuff in the paper in a ready made is as much a danger as the tobacco.

Way back when, every smoker I knew had there own brand they would buy religiously over the others, whether it was B&H, Regal, Club they stuck with it, no geographical boundaries, just brand loyalty I suppose you would call it now. Then, when the prices went up too much, you either switched to roll ups (like me) or started buying cheaper tabs. Loads of people ended up on Mayfair just because they were the budget tailor made option. I was never ever tempted by roll ups. I'd have rather smoked my dead Granny's ashes. The opposite me. Straights always left me with a nasty taste and usually still wanting a decent smoke. Mind I started smoking via cutting the wacky stuff with baccy so making was always part of the fun. I also dabbled with Capstan Full Strength and Passing Clouds at one time and I had probably killed most of my taste buds by around 1971.
