The E Cigarette


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.

  3. Thanks for your comments Calvin

    Although 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.
