Forest Eireann - Voice of the smoker in Ireland - Forest Eireann Blog
http://www.foresteireann.org/blog
Friends of Forest Eireann. What it's like to represent smokers on live radio (and television). Saturday, July 23, 2016 at 1:29PM. A friend asked me recently what speaking on live radio was really like as he had never done so himself. Today is a good time to update that conversation as I was guest on Cork96FM yesterday to discuss the simple issue of smuggled tobacco. The average price of 20 cigarettes in the EU is approximately 5, being higher in some countries and lower in others. It doesn't take a g...

Velvet Glove, Iron Fist: We have a winner!
http://velvetgloveironfist.blogspot.com/2010/02/we-have-winner.html
Saturday, 13 February 2010. We have a winner! In a highly competitive field, this week's hypochondriac is Shawn, posting at Woman's Day. Shawn gets extra points for gullibility, hysteria and stupefying scientific ignorance. It's about time this issue is addressed. If you can smell a smoker after they have smoked, there must be harmful nicotine present. Because that's not what the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency. But you were saying. I'm also worried about fourth hand smoke. . Shawn's ...

Velvet Glove, Iron Fist: Does Champix cause heart attacks? Hmm, maybe.
http://velvetgloveironfist.blogspot.com/2011/07/does-champix-cause-heart-attacks-hmm.html
Tuesday, 5 July 2011. Does Champix cause heart attacks? The news that Champix/Chantix has been linked to heart disease has been widely. In the last day or two, after a meta-analysis. Found that those who use the controversial stop-smoking drug had a 72% increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. The lead author, Sonal Singh, has been getting rather excited. People should be concerned. They don’t need Chantix to quit and this is another reason to avoid Chantix all together.". Of the 14 results, only...

Velvet Glove, Iron Fist: Rehabilitating the Danish fat tax
http://velvetgloveironfist.blogspot.com/2015/08/rehabilitating-danish-fat-tax.html
Friday, 7 August 2015. Rehabilitating the Danish fat tax. I've noticed that the 'public health' lobby have been trying to gently rehabilitate the Danish fat tax in recent months. I suppose they feel it is necessary if they are to push for a sugar tax. They are using a little trick to pretend that the tax 'worked'. I've written a post. The key claim of the revisionists is that sales of fatty products fell by 10 to 15 per cent figure as a result of the tax. This figure comes from a study. Patient Groups an...

Friends of Forest Eireann. More attacks on freedom and pleasure. Thursday, August 18, 2016 at 9:37AM. There are two stories this week from the Puritan Isle that smokers will have a passing interest in. Both, of course, are an attack on our freedom and pleasures. The first had to do with an HSE. For the issue of smoke-breaks in the workplace I was debating with the current incumbent from ASH. My response was that after years of business management and the experience of finding cost-effective ways around p...
