It's time to clear up the confusion over E-cigarettes
If you are not doing it yourself, doubtless you know someone who is trying to quit smoking.
What I've discovered in researching E-cigarettes is that many highly-respected experts believe we have the chance of a lifetime to turn the tide on tobacco.
E-cigarettes seem to offer the best opportunity in generations to end our fatal affair with the conventional cigarette - yet there are some big problems.
I found that concerns about the regulation and quality of these devices can be traced all the way back to China, which is where the vast majority are made.
Two manufactures spoke to us about their concerns regarding the lack of quality control standards.
I was amazed to hear how strongly the World Health Organisation is willing to express its reservations about E-cigarettes.

Even the NHS website is peppered with warnings that we still don't have proof they can help you quit smoking.
Despite these concerns, so many individuals have told me their stories of quitting the killer weed thanks to E-cigarettes.
One of the most significant was Ron, who I had the great pleasure of meeting in South Shields.

I suspect that the real scandal here is that seven years after E-cigarettes arrived in the UK, our officials and regulators have still failed to catch up.

That is surely reason enough for officials to make every effort possible to clear up the confusion and doubts.
