The Emperor’s New Electronic Cigarette! By Paul Bergen of tobaccoharmreduction.org CN Creative have announced that they are moving forward with plans to finish Nicadex, “a nicotine replacement therapy product for use as part of medically supervised smoking cessation programmes”. E-Cigarettes and Nicotine Replacement Therapy This sounded like very good news, another alternative for smokers. However, whereas there are several [...]

I think it should probably be taken as a given that I am biased writing this post. However, I have yet to taste a disposable electronic cigarette that I have found personally satisfying. I’ve tried several. When Tescos brought out the 10 Motives electronic cigarette, I thought I’d try one. I bought one, and headed [...]

According to scientists we have spoken to, e-cigarettes are 99% safer than tobacco cigarettes. The danger in vaping is equivalent to the danger of drinking a cup of coffee, and you’ll find more carcinogens in peanut butter than you will in e-juice. Yet many smokers have yet to switch. Some still haven’t heard about the [...]

Eissenberg, you are once again claiming that e-cigarettes do not contain any nicotine. My problem with that is: 1. How can one million US smokers and one hundred thousand UK smokers be wrong? (As I write, one of our customers is asking if he can return a extra-high nicotine to be replaced with a high-nicotine, [...]

The comments followed the rejection of advice from tobacco harm reduction experts on the basis they were insufficiently “English”. The Tobacco Harm Reduction Blog attacks the consultation as ignoring [...]
