Should e-cigs be prescribed on the NHS?Yes that is wrong. People are on waiting lists for life saving operations that often a health authority cannot fund but people seem able to have gastric bands easily (also breast enlargements). The overweight people have to lose a certain amount of weight before they can have a gastric band, so why can't they lose weight anyway? It is self inflicted, the same as smoking and alcohol.ViewDate:

Should e-cigs be prescribed on the NHS?I gave up smoking after 33 years. Yes it was hard and several times I nearly weakened, but after seeing the men in the cancer ward coughing but still smoking, and my late husband succumbing to the disease, that was my turning point. I used the chewing gum and this helped greatly. I am not sure that e-cigarettes is helpful, as people still have the habit of 'smoking', and I certainly do not think they should be available on the NHS as they are cheaper than cigarettes. If people can afford the high price of cigarettes, they can certainly afford the lower price of e-cigarettes.
