News Bites
A news item that caught my eye this morning was about E-cigarettes. The headline was Miracle or menace
It is not a miracle it is definitely a menace in my view
Granted it removes most of the chemicals that cause cancer, but it does nothing to discourage addiction. Offering e-cigarettes is just like offering drug addicts clean needles.
If you take away the cancer risk, then you will encourage more people to become addicted to nicotine.
Nicotine is a very potent poison, it is only because the cigarette delivers it in such small quantities that our body can cope with it.There is enough nicotine in a pack of 20 cigarettes to kill a person if it was taken in one go!
So all these e-cigs? How much nicotine in one? Enough so that someone could open one up, pour it into someone's coffee and do away with them? Could it become a weapon?
You don't have to drink nicotine, it is absorbed through the skin just as easily.
Trainer Talk
It was a good night at the Phoenix Club last night, (home of Peter Kay and Phoenix Nights).It was a family quiz night organised by St Johns |Church. We teamed up with Carol and Peter. Ian was a great quiz master despite the challenges of technology! It was a great turnout around 80, we did not win but close! Carrs pasty, mushy peas and red cabbage went down very well. Sadly we had to leave quickly as I had a 3 hr drive ahead of me.
This morning I start day three of the 10th Machineman's Development Course.
Thought for the day
Money can't buy happiness, but it sure makes misery
easier to live with.
I must say, I thought this was a pretty interesting read when it comes to this topic. Liked the material. . .

Thanks for your comments Calvin
ReplyDeleteAlthough I have never been a smoker, ( just too disorganised to get round to trying rather than a lifestyle choice), I designed cigarette paper for a living for a few years, so I always maintain an interest in the industry.
