  • Don’t turn ecigarettes into another tool of the state health nannies

    August 19, 2015

    The technological breakthrough of ecigarettes has placed the medical establishment and taxpayer-funded public health advocates in a bit of a quandary. The agreed strategy to date has been to advise smokers that, in broad terms, they must “quit or die”. But a colossal range of weird and wonderful new smokeless nicotine delivery products has inclined [...]

  • Ecigarettes in the workplace: After Public Health England finds vaping 95 per cent less harmful than tobacco, is it time to review policy?

    August 19, 2015

    After years of uncertainty surrounding the health implications of ‘vaping’, a report from Public Health England has revealed ecigarettes to be 95 per cent less harmful than tobacco.   This evidence should prompt employers to conduct an immediate review of company policy surrounding ecigarette use in the workplace.

  • Inflation basket of goods: Ecigarettes and craft beer in, yoghurt drinks and sat navs out

    March 17, 2015

    A sign of modern life, or a marker of British society's inexorable slide into middle classness? The Office for National Statistics (ONS) has performed its annual reshuffle of the basket of goods, the items it uses to measure inflation. It's all gone a bit… Waitrose-y.  Among the additions to the basket are refills for ecigarettes, [...]

  • Trio of ecigarette adverts banned from UK TV for glamourising tobacco

    December 24, 2014
