Jean-François Etter
Shamelessly lifted from Dick Puddlecote, a video of Jean-François Etter speaking about the ‘public health’ community’s irrational objections to e-cigarettes. Since Etter is part of the ‘public health’ community, it’s nice to see them falling out with each other. I’ve got … Continue reading

Yet Another Smoking Cessation Conference
An email I got today drew my attention to the upcoming UKNSCC – the UK National Smoking Cessation Conference -. The UK National Smoking Cessation Conference is the world’s largest event for the smoking cessation field, and this year will … Continue reading
Boris Will Bounce Back
I dunno about anybody else, but the revelation that Boris Johnson has fathered a child (or is it two?) out of wedlock looks to me like a judicial political assassination attempt, at a moment in time when David Cameron’s leadership … Continue reading
