Meanwhile I'm still shaking my head at the information that at least one group of vaping advocates (whose board consists of several ex-smokers) "cannot respond on smoking matters" because they can only answer questions "which relate to our areas of competence" (smoking not being one of them, obviously).

The New Nicotine Alliance has therefore chosen (cravenly, in my opinion) not to comment on proposals to ban smoking in private vehicles and NHS grounds.

Coming soon: Scottish Government bans vaping in private vehicles and NHS grounds ... You read it here first.
