Loyal readers will recall that recently WHO, the organisation that is doing a "great" job of controlling the Ebola outbreak, was bemoaning the dangers of smoking e fags indoors lest people breath in second hand vapours.
Additionally, yesterday, I noted that some "research" had been carried out int eh USA that warned that smoking e fags would lead people to illicit substance abuse.
Well, barely 24 hours on, and other experts in the filed have denounced all this scare mongering as bollocks.
For every million smokers who switch to e-cigarettes, more than 6,000 lives a year could be saved, according to the University College London team.
The National Addiction Centre based at King's College London and the Tobacco Dependence Unit at Queen Mary University noted that the assumptions made by WHO were "misleading" (that's science speak for "bollocks").
Professor Robert West of UCL is quoted by the BBC:
"You have to be a bit crazy to carry on smoking conventional cigarettes when there are e-cigarettes availableConfused?
The vapour contains nothing like the concentrations of carcinogens and toxins as cigarette smoke.
In fact, concentrations are almost all well below a twentieth of cigarettes."
Don't be, simply start smoking cigars and pipes; clearly they are the least dangerous of all!
