Medicinal cannabis, perhaps? (Or would that give some cause to ban them?)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-31792512760655039462011-07-27T16:53:16.488+01:002011-07-27T16:53:16.488+01:00Alanx.

The last gum I bought, for a plane flight, before I discovered snus, was about £14, compared to 40p for Wrigley's.How much does it cost to stir in a bottle of nicotine solution. No wonder there are moves to ban ecigs and stop the sale of snus.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-33736657021991912682011-07-27T16:14:43.590+01:002011-07-27T16:14:43.590+01:00Alanx: Haven't a clue, although I'd presum...Alanx: Haven't a clue, although I'd presume the development costs for patches must have been mostly recouped by now if not totally. Whereas e-cigs were only invented in 2004 IIRC so the profits are presumably still on an upcurve.<br /><br />Anon: Snus is manufactured by tobacco companies so is technically one of the three suppliers already. ASH UK appear to show a reluctant acceptance of harm reduction in all forms, ASH USA won't even countenance the idea unless made by pharma.Dick Puddlecotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01481866882188932892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-73154760210309059932011-07-27T12:23:50.651+01:002011-07-27T12:23:50.651+01:00ASH UK news yesterday had a link to a story about ...ASH UK news yesterday had a link to a story about a man who quit his 100 a day habit using ecigs, which surprised me. What is ASH's policy on ecigs?<br /><br />There are now four suppliers of nicotine. At least one of the Swedish snus suppliers has resumed delivery to the EU, after a break following action by a Finnish cancer organisation (presumably the more cancer the better- keeps them all in jobs).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-29108800581391571122011-07-27T00:47:29.510+01:002011-07-27T00:47:29.510+01:00Anybody happen to know the profit margin on nicoti...Anybody happen to know the profit margin on nicotine patches relative to e ciggery materials?alanxnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-8324092655132864302011-07-26T20:22:30.720+01:002011-07-26T20:22:30.720+01:00"But that would be like saying that it's ..."But that would be like saying that it's not about health anymore, or something."<br /><br />Has it ever been about health (other than the health of their bank balance)?<br /><br />They want control.
