E-Cigarettes banned at the Daily ExpressA report in the British satirical and current affairs magazine, Private Eye, revealed (Issue 1350, October 17th, 2013), that staff at the Daily Express had been ordered not to smoke electronic cigarettes on the premises. Private Eye reported on a memo to Express staff as saying "Company Policy will be for them to be treated in exactly the same way as conventional cigarettes" - and any members of staff who had "strong opinions" on the matter were asked to contact the managing editor. The Private Eye report went on to comment that "Someone who could indeed take a strong view on the subject might be one R. Desmond, who a while back made a little investment in the 5 Colors e-cigarettes brand. Despite a big promotional push over the past year in the Express, Star and OK! titles, accompanied by "news" stories and pictures of the likes of Cheryl Cole, her Girls Aloud bandmates and Tamara Ecclestone sucking on the ghastly devices, e-cigs have turned out to be a damp e-squib for Desmond. Many cartons of the things lie gathering dust in the basement of Northern and Shell Towers."

"I don't accept that smokers are addicted to tobacco. I think they have a habit... I believe the majority of smokers could stop tomorrow - no, today - if they really wanted to." Dr. Sandy Macara, "The nicotine inhalation habit induces a psychological dependency habit similar to that of a 43 year old teenager still living at home with mum and dad... Smokers / vapers are addicted to nicotine inhalation about as much as someone might be addicted to living at home with mum and dad - where life is made too easy for them to even think of moving out."
