It is kind of unusual for me to post anything this early in the day as I normally like to sit and think on what I’ve seen before actually writing anything. Today however, some antics on Twitter really upset me. I mean, close to tears upset. The Tobacco Products Directive Continue Reading
Hashtags and beanbags
OK, so not the most inspiring title ever conceived but I normally only post once every few days. Or try to at least. For once, you lovely folks are getting a double post out of me today. No, this is not about the plain packs debacle. That one is just Continue Reading
Mistakes, I’ve Made A Few
As we all know, vaping and electronic cigarettes are under increasing scrutiny. Some of it is surprisingly the good kind of scrutiny, the majority of it is not. We all have our stories as to why we vape. Some of us wanted to reduce harm to our own bodies. Others Continue Reading
Looney Science
It is going to take me a while to compose myself to get this post written as I’m just laughing so damned much.
Why I Vape
This is a post that I’ve been putting off for a while as it contains a number of personal things. They aren’t necessarily secrets, I’m just not the sort to continually talk about them. I was a heavy smoker. Like super heavy, easily going through two packs per day and Continue Reading

I do just want to warn you there is some bad language (and possibly grammar too) in this post. I want to put this out there from the start. I am a former smoker. I smoked best part of four packs per day for almost twenty years. Do I regret it? NO. Put Continue Reading
Is there actually a vaping community, or am I dreaming?
It seems like years since I last made an entry in this blog. It has in fact only been a few weeks. So little time has passed in the ever evolving world and so much has happened. For a while there was plenty to be happy about within the vaping Continue Reading
A General Letter to Tobacco Control Advocates & Public Health
To All in Tobacco Control & Public Health, Yes I’m speaking to you, and for once please listen instead of going glassy eyed and reaching for the infamous block button. I vape and I’m not going to go away, nor am I going to stop vaping. That’s right, I use Continue Reading
To Vape or Not to Vape?
That is most definitely the question of the moment. With the recent secret squirrel meeting of WHO in Russia (of all places) there has been a lot of talk in the media recently about bans. Specifically, banning the use or cigarettes (including e-cigs) in Parks, Coffee Shops and of course TfL have Continue Reading
