        @BBCNews @suttonnick Nicotine is still a poison & cause health risks , E-Cigs still cause addiction & are more appealing to children !

        @BBCNews @suttonnick if you can pay for fags, why can't you pay for an e-cig rather than taking up NHS funds?

        @littleliipie @BBCNews this is more about public perception than free ecigs- lies about ecigs are putting lives that could be saved at risk

        @BBCNews @suttonnick Crazy waste of NHS money. Better to ban e-cigs except for registered nicotine addicts using them to try to give up.

        @BBCNews @suttonnick Way to waste even more money! Spend it on prevention/cures for diseases not on self inflicted addiction.
