Smoking and mental health

Public Health England?s review of the evidence on e-cigarettes

Interesting that there is now a healthcare orientated conference taking place around e-cigs. Because of my job I get a lot of invites to things like this but this is the first one to explicitly address the issue. Promising

It's been noted for a while that the number of people with mental health problems that smoke is much higher than smokers in the general population. Nice to see that the PHE report has allowed organisations to move to a pro-active position on this.

I did have a moment when I was reading the summary ... I misinterpreted Maudsley NHS Foundation as Mawsley NHS Foundation

I got privatised by David Hameron and am now run for profit after all my nurses were sold off.
