Principality not Duchy by the way. Right, well that said, I haven't watched the debate as I know all too well what to expect - I have after all had correspondence with the Plaid MEP who<br />merrily spouted her ill- or- uninformed views on tv some time ago. Lung disease of all kinds has been endemic in Wales forever; coal/steel/copper the major industries historically, plus climate and very high smoking rates have all been contributory factors. Coal and copper have gone and if these A.Ms could just think this thing through then smoking could go the same way; I have a dream: Carwyn Jones stands up in the Senedd and declares Wales to be the first EU country to embrace the Electronic Smoking Substitute. Industry would get grants to settle here, the economy would boom and Public Health would<br />blossom like the rose - we all have our dreams. Now if Nye Bevan was still with us he'd have gone for this one big-time. Many letters are on their way to AMs<br />for all the good it'll do!Dragonmumnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-1719249841233302042013-12-13T21:49:52.288+00:002013-12-13T21:49:52.288+00:00It's a small country with no real economic clo...It's a small country with no real economic clout trying to show it's as concerned and progressive as anywhere else.

You are not four times more likely to quit smoking using NRT that by willpower alone! As I have said before, you will only give up smoking if your REALLY want to, which means that your mind and brain have to agree with what you mouth says! If you REALLY want to give up smoking then NRT may be a psychological crutch, as could many other things be, but ultimately you will succeed if you want to.<br /><br /><br />As for the Quit Smoking's idea of giving up - a few weeks, is it, without smoking, then you are cured, never to smoke again? Poppycock! All that piece of 'scientific evidence' does is make their quit smoking figures look good and 'prove' that NRT works!<br /><br /><br />Unless they are completely stupid (ok, they probably are) then they are perfectly aware of this fact, as are the pharmaceutical companies, but God forbid big pharma should lose any revenue stolen from the NHS or individuals on such a sticky wicket!<br /><br /><br />Liars, fraudsters, conmen/women, the lot of them and the only place any of them should be is prison - well there could perhaps be better places, ones not as comfortable as prison, such as Hell!truckerlynnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3141759542968821728.post-58816362960951561032013-12-13T07:29:52.743+00:002013-12-13T07:29:52.743+00:00“Scientific testing has shown that the amount of n...“Scientific testing has shown that the amount of nicotine – which is a poison – and other chemicals varies widely between different brands of e-cigs."

Detrimental to health? Carcinogenic?<br />It's the same bloody chemical.
