Ministers block tobacco firms from helping to clean up the 122 tons of cigarette butts, packets
dailymail.co.uk – 16 de Agosto de 2015 – UK
Ministers have told councils not to accept help from the tobacco industry to clean up the 122 tons of cigarette butts, packets and matches dropped in the UK every day.
In what has been seen as an apparent U-turn by the Government, a junior Environment minister last month rejected the offer by cigarette companies to provide money for cleaning Britain's streets.
It came six months after Kris Hopkins, then a Local Government minister, said he wanted tobacco companies to 'make a contribution to put right the wrongs as a consequence of their product.

E-cig house fire prompts safety warning
iwcp.co.uk – 29 de Julio de 2015 – UK
E-CIGARETTE users on the Isle of Wight are being warned to be careful when charging vaping devices and other electrical items following a fire at a house in East Cowes on Sunday.
The Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service put out the warning after they were called to the property to extinguish a burning sofa.
The fire was caused by an e-cigarette charger, which had been charging a vaping device on the arm of the sofa.
"Thankfully, the property had working smoke alarms installed and were alerted to the fire in time for us to rescue a man and two dogs," said a spokesman for the Isle of Wight Fire and Rescue Service.
"Advice has been issued nationally to e-cigarette users, following reports of several devices exploding while charging, which caused minor fires.
"It is not an apparent problem locally, but around the country other fire services have reported incidents of fires caused by e-cigarettes and we don’t want any more such incidents happening on the Island."

Por el fin del comercio ilícito de tabaco
cincodias.com – 21 de Julio de 2015 – UK
Hace solo unos meses, la OLAF (Oficina Europea de Lucha contra el Fraude) y los servicios de aduanas de varios países asestaron un duro golpe al contrabando internacional de tabaco al incautar 10,2 millones de cigarrillos en el puerto de Haifa (Israel) y otros 4,2 millones en el de Riga (Letonia). Pero si tenemos en cuenta que estas operaciones representan solo un pequeño porcentaje del consumo de tabaco ilícito, cuesta no darse cuenta de que la lucha contra el comercio ilícito de tabaco en la UE requiere de un nuevo enfoque.

El Reino Unido registra un aumento de incendios por cigarrillos electrónicos
elespectador.com –11 de Julio de 2015 – Colombia
El Reino Unido ha registrado en los dos últimos años un aumento "muy preocupante" de incendios relacionados con el consumo de cigarrillos electrónicos, con al menos 62 en 2014 en Inglaterra, reveló hoy la Asociación de gobierno local (LGA, en inglés).
La LGA, que representa a los servicios de bomberos, ha pedido a los fabricantes que incluyan "más instrucciones de seguridad" en el empaquetado de los cigarrillos, también conocidos como vaporizadores electrónicos y que pretenden sustituir el consumo de tabaco.
Desde 2012, se han registrado 113 incendios y explosiones en Inglaterra relacionadas con este producto -de 8 llamadas en 2012 se pasó a 62 en 2014, con una víctima mortal-, si bien las autoridades creen que ha habido muchos más casos que no se han denunciado.
Según la LGA, la mayor parte de los incendios ha sido provocada por el empleo de cargadores incompatibles, que son más baratos que los de marca pero que presentan más riesgos.
Unos dos millones de británicos consumen actualmente cigarrillos electrónicos, que permiten inhalar vapor de nicotina o a veces solo aromas, si bien su uso es polémico en este país.
Frente a quienes defienden sus ventajas como sustituto del tabaco, más perjudicial, los críticos sostienen que son también nocivos para la salud y, con sus anuncios sugerentes, atraen a los jóvenes al hábito de fumar.

El tabaco podría provocar esquizofrenia y psicosis
lainformacion.com – 13 de Julio de 2015 – UK
Investigadores del King's College London's Institute of Psychiatry (Reino Unido) han publicado un estudio en el que describe una relación entre el consumo de tabaco y un mayor riesgo en la aparición de esquizofrenia y psicosis.
El experto en el estudio de la psicosis y co-autor del estudio, James MacCabe, ha explicado que "aunque es difícil determinar la dirección de la relación de causalidad, nuestros resultados indican que el consumo de tabaco podría ser un factor de riesgo en el desarrollo de psicosis", al igual que otros elementos como la genética, la alimentación y los hábitos de vida, ha añadido.

E-cigarettes have now been banned from most British trains, stations and platforms despite it being totally legal
startribune.com – 12 de Junio de 2015 – UK
If you’re an ex-smoker who enjoys a cheeky e-cig while waiting for your train, you might be dismayed by this sign that has popped up in train stations across Britain this week.
It is telling anyone who stops to read it that Southern Railways will ban e-cigarettes on all their 2,500 train services and 156 stations from July 26.
But what is particularly striking about this ban is how most of Britain’s train companies have also quietly banned e-cigarettes – despite it not being illegal to vape in public places.
