I gave up smoking fags nearly 3 years ago , after smoking for 50 years .

The main reason I stopped was the cost , but subconsciously there may have been a fear of damage to my health .

I have saved thousands of pounds .

I went onto e-cigs , and I haven't missed a fag one little bit . In fact I prefer my e-cigs to fags .

As for NHS funding for those who want to replace fags for e-cigs......Well , if there are some who genuinely can't afford the initial outlay in transferring to e-cigs , I have no problem with the NHS helping them .

When I first heard of this report I was a bit miffed.....thinking that if they can afford to buy fags they can afford to buy e-cigs . But on reflection I can see that there are some who would have problems buying the starter kit . There are some really poor people among us , and unfortunately they may need help . We don't live in an ideal world .
