Snuff or suppository?

No thanks, your need is greater than mine.


Actually, as someone that has not been very good at stopping smoking
over the last 4 decades, I've settled on harm reduction. Since a year
last May, I've been using ecigarrettes of one form or another - and not
had a tobacco based cigarette since then.

I'm sure that no nicotine would be much better, but in terms of harm
reduction, its pretty much 98% of the way there.

Shame that the EU and UK are going to treat them as medical devices from
2015 - nearly as effective as banning them.

IMO, its a seriously backward step for harm reduction, and one that has,
surprise, surprise, been lobbied for by the tobacco and pharma industries.

That was the 30 second rant. I have more...
