"Vaping enables smokers to quit for good. It’s helping smokers, not harming them." Prof John Britton
Useful analysis of this from Prof John Britton of @RCPLondon @SPECTRUMRes @UKCTAS
Big concerns over this #vaping article. Worth a read.

👏👏👏 @UKCTAS on the @ERSpublications paper: “There’s nothing in this new paper that should change advice to smokers. If you smoke, switch. If you don’t smoke, don’t vape. And just as you wouldn’t buy unlicensed alcoholic drinks, don’t vape cannabis or other bootleg products.”

Conservatives join the Lib Dems in using supporting whisky *exports* (on which no UK excise duty is paid) as a justification for 'reviewing' UK excise duty on spirits.

@UKCTAS now Prof John Britton on vaping and lung disease. Sets out risks which are real but significantly lower than from tobacco smoking. #ECigSummit US showing acute lung injury patterns. Isolated in time, place person. Something special happening not routine vaping caused.

This @bmj_latest blog from Dr John Britton (@UKCTAS) aligns pretty well with my priors regarding the importance of pursuing #RethinkNicotine.
