It took some time, but one of Scotland's leading tobacco control industry spokespeople has finally condemned
NICE's June decision to endorse long term use of nicotine replacement therapy as a way of cutting down on tobacco.
Sheila Duffy, chief executive of Ash Scotland, said: "I am disappointed by the NICE decision. Patches and gum are much safer than tobacco, but they are produced by companies whose profit is money and these companies are looking for long term use to provide that profit.
"Addiction, in whatever form, is not a good state for people to be in."
Not really, she was
talking about something else, the odious hypocrite.
