As we have noted previously in The New Threat to the Electronic Cigarette, the EU is including electronic cigarette as part of a general review of tobacco products. What the EU didn’t mention is the huge sums of money they receive from the world’s largest tobacco company: Philip Morris. But the money’s not being hidden [...]

Our new website, The Smokers Angel, is now up. We built the website in response to customer demand for greater choice and a greater range of flavours.

This is the same organisation which banned SNUS – a vastly safer alternative to smoking. To protect the use of a [...]

Dick Puddlecote has just published a fascinating post about the resignation of Henry Lewis from the American Physical Society. Henry Lewis has resigned over corruption, the subjugation of science to money and what he calls the Global Warming Fraud.

Anti-smokers claim that smoking has had no effect on the pub trade – but hundreds are shutting down every year.
