Welsh Minister for Health Needs education on vaping - says 'normalises smoking'

[LilyRed]

Chegs, would you like the honour of starting the thread? I'm going offline for a few hours soon as I've got to do tea for the OH and might not be back until much later.

I think if we just looked around our houses at the everyday things we all use (the items of those two lists I linked will give everyone an idea of what they might have at home, or in their sheds or garages): we should name what the item is and where we got it from, and post a photo that shows the ingredients list clearly perhaps? Do you think that might work?

I'll go start the thread as soon as I've finished re-wicking the W3 for my latest evil toxic brew

Brilliant! (I should be peeling spuds now!) I'll try and take some pics this evening - OH will think I'm dafter than ever

What've you mixed and is this for cloudchasing???

 

[Chegs]

Was an aniseed+hint of menthol to try calm my angry throat,caused by a visit to a mates unclean smoking den last week.I picked up some sort of bug that has me coughing up my lungs from the mildest of TH's.

Oh dear, that's not good news - you do know you can use glycerine with honey and lemon for a cough medicine? Will Ms Chegs pop into Boots for you tomorrow as I know you'll not want to touch your mixing stuff - it soothes the throat ... as long as it's not vaped!

I Hope you get over it soon, I've missed the chest infections so far this winter (touches wood superstitiously)

More chance of finding a million quid under my chair than her buy me anything else

I have done pretty well for avoiding bugs,will be a few years since I even suffered a bad cold(reckon that's because I used to wander about in all weathers without a jacket)but old age is overtaking me faster now as I sound like a 21 gun salute firing when I stand up,the joints are getting more painful as the arthritis takes hold and the additional strain of supporting my ever increasing "waistline" won't be helping.The latest bug can't decide if it's going to sit in my chest making me wheeze or my throat & be sore,but the menthol+aniseed has cleared my breathing some,cured my vapers tongue so I can taste my juices far longer than I used too and saves on mouthwash

So he outwardly states that they need to consult with the wider public. I have looked on the welsh governments web site & as yet there is no open consultation. I have written an email to them inquiring about this & informing them i would like to offer some views from a more enlightened point.
Lets hope they do ask us. If i can find a window into an open public consultation on their website i'll post it up here so we can have our say.
If anyone else knows how to get hold of the relevant people, lets hear about it please.

A reply to my email...

Thank you for your query.

A Public Health White Paper is due to be published during the coming
weeks, which will consult on a range of issues. Once published this will
be available on the Welsh Government website. If you are content I will
add your contact details to our database, so that we can send you a
direct link to the consultation document once it is available. The
webpage will also include details about how you can respond to the
consultation.

I hope this is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have
any further queries.

Kind regards

...So i await a link & then see what's in the consultation.
