Clive Bates head to head with Faculty of Public Health

Prof Ashton needs to check his information,I remember reading that the juice mentioned on the show contained diacetyl in a Butterscotch flavoured juice.Not as this supposedly intelligent man claims,popcorn. The disease allegedly caused by diacetyl is "popcorn lung". Then he stretches the bounds of incredulity by stating "nicotine makes you go blind,ask anyone from the RNIB" and proceeds to shout down the interviewer/other guests and it becomes almost impossible to understand a word said.Then off goes the Prof yelling that flavoured juices are simply to attract children as no adult would be interested in bubble-gum/popcorn/strawberry etc.Then another rant that ALL e-cig manufacturers are being bought out by tobacco companies to enable them to peddle e-cigs to under 18's.I only made it as far as approx 20 mins in as the comments from listeners was making me swear at my PC.(that and the music was almost as irritating as the Prof)

I don't know how many of you have followed this saga from beginning to end, but based on Prof John Ashton's tweets an official complaint went in to the Faculty of Public Health, the events quite accurately describe what happenedThe Exit Door Leads In: Dear FPH - Just a quick word about John Ashton.

And guess what? The confrontation makes it to the The Times.
Unfortunately it's the professors version of events. Here is part of the article printed ..ARRRRGH!!
