Vaping 95% safer than smoking.

Surprised this hasn't been mentioned here. You probably heard the news in the various media during the week, mostly covering the misleading headlines that e cigs would be available on prescription from the NHS.
This is a major endorsement from a prominent public health body, it should at the least change the argument from ' what harm' to ' what benifit'
Go read the linked article which contains a link to the report which at 111 pages is quite a read on its own but well worth the effort

Our own HSE have stated that they are not changing their position on vaping but that position is becoming increasingly hard to justify. A few more reports like this will leave them looking badly out of step.

Our HSE is such a bloated incompetent and borderline corrupt shambles that association with vaping might be a bad thing for us!
Honestly, I'd say the majority of the population view them as an utter joke and anything they endorse would be by association tainted.
