Whether the answer is yes or no, she certainly knows her stuff on e-cigs, by crikey!
The reason I ask is that e-cigs have attracted some stellar afficionados.
Hollywood stars like Stephen Dorff and Johnny Depp have embraced them, following on from Katherine Heigl on the Letterman show, no less (please feel free to add others I might have missed). And now, Jodie Marsh, the most informed and eloquent celebrity so far on the subject of vaping in my opinion.
Early articles on e-cigs portrayed them as uncool or even embarrassing to be seen using. Yet in the past few days detractors have described them in entirely different terms. A Sydney Morning Herald sneerer said they were "trendy", whilst a Daily Mail hack reported that they are "the latest craze" (by the way, do go read the Mail article as its 'information' is an exhibition of utter shite from start to finish, as I remarked on Twitter).
I'm sure this adulation of e-cigs will all come as a terrible kick in the guts to a certain closed-minded blowhard we all know.
Of course, if he weren't such an old dog incapable of learning new tricks, he might be sensing an opportunity with all this 'trendy' celebrity-glittered publicity. You know, rather like a proper businessman would do.
E-cigarettes: What's your experience of these? I'm interested in whether you stopped real fags or went back to them? Reply with #efags

Bannatyne once said that ...
“One of the hardest lessons I've learned along the way was that the advice you don’t want to hear is probably the advice you should listen to the most”
This would appear to be precisely one of those occasions.
E-cigs as trendy, a craze, and attracting positive attention from celebrities, politicians and astute businessmen? With all that in their favour, what businessman could possibly be stupid enough to not be able to spot massive profit potential in the e-cig revolution?
UPDATE: Thanks to Rursus in the comments who provides an update of Bannatyne's deep comitment to health.
