It’s an incredible opportunity to learn a huge amount about vaping in a very short period of time, and as usual Amanda Strange has done a simply superb job putting it together. In these posts, …

Time drifts away like a cloud of gentle vapour, and after attending the 1st E-Cigarette summit in 2013 (and every one since!) it seems astonishing to find myself at the 7th event. Events change too, and gone are the huddles of dedicated vapers at the back of the room. Indeed, you can’t now vape in …

I’ve popped these notes up for anyone interested in the e-cig summit but was unable to attend. This year saw a hectic pace, with more speakers and more content in the same amount of time. Konstantinos alone had over 50 slides in a (theoretical!) 20 minutes. So this time round, I’ve chosen just to highlight …

Not so long ago, most people in UK Public Health were advising smokers to steer clear of e-cigarettes. The very best we could hope for was: They might be safer, but we need more research. Fast forward to today and it’s a very different situation. In fact, the UK, with a few notable exceptions, probably has …
