That’s the news from the Velvet Glove Iron Fist blog. Actually, our heading is a little misleading. It should read: Not Persecuting Smokers is Worse than Beating Babies. This is the news from the UK, where a British man has been jailed for six months for allowing people to smoke on his property. Christoper Snowden [...]

This is hardly breaking news – Kate from the Vaper’s forum mentioned it to me last week. But for those who might have missed it… The author of a report that found no nicotine in two electronic cigarettes he tested has now found nicotine in a third model, a fact he mentioned in a post [...]

MHRA/E Cigarette Update We recently spoke to the MHRA on the topic of electronic cigarettes. It was hard to get much feedback, especially after we told them we were recording the call, as they simply repeated that we should put our comments in writing. However, one of the most interesting points was that the MHRA [...]

I recently sent a link to a report to Christopher Snowdon, author of Velvet Glove Iron Fist. Well, the contents of the report.

Cigarettes are safer than electronic cigarettes. Electronic cigarette users should give up the toxin free devices which deliver nicotine in a water vapour and go back to the products that kill hundreds of thousands of smokers in the UK and America alone. That’s the advice from the so-called anti-smoking lobby. “… there is no evidence [...]

The American Stop Smoking Society is at its again. This time they have set up their own website. They are repeating their claims that the electronic cigarette kills – fast. And they are perpetuating the myth of fourth hand smoke. More dangerously, they are offering to sell suicide kits to smokers, stating: Are you a [...]

I have just completed an interview with Chris Snowden, author of Velvet Glove Iron Fist. Velvet Glove Iron Fist is probably the most comprehensive book there is about the anti-smoking movement. It chronicles the anti-smoking movement from the first European discrimination against smoking – when the inquisition arrested one of Columbus’ crew – through the [...]

I was browsing the net when I came across a page about one of ASH’s more extreme press releases. (As ASH has called for denial of health treatment of smokers, for children to be seperated from their parents and pushed for segregation in public places, it has to be pretty bad to be extreme for [...]
