  1. Britain to encourage smokers to swap cigarettes for vapes in world-first health initiative Posted 6h ago6 hours ago The UK will supply almost one-in-five smokers with a vaping starter kit, along with advice to help quit smoking.(Getty Images: Sestovic/File) Up to 1 million British smokers will be encouraged to swap cigarettes for "vapes", with pregnant women offered financial incentives to make the change in what will be a world first, the UK government said on Tuesday. Key points: The UK government will provide vaping starter kits to up to 1 million British smokers That move is meant to help reduce the UK smoking rate to 5 per cent, down from the current 13 per cent Such an initiative is unlikely to be adopted in Australia, where the government is under pressure to ban vaping altogether Under the scheme, almost one-in-five smokers will be given a vape — an e-cigarette — starter kit, along with support to help quit smoking, the UK Department of Health said. Pregnant women will also be offered vouchers to help them kick the habit as part of the government's target of reducing the number of smokers to 5 per cent or less of the population, down from 13 per cent now. "Up to two-out-of-three lifelong smokers will die from smoking. Cigarettes are the only product on sale which will kill you if used correctly," Health Minister Neil O'Brien will say in a speech later on Tuesday, the government said. "We will offer a million smokers new help to quit. We will be funding a new national 'swap to stop' scheme — the first of its kind in the world." Vaping discouraged in Australia The British approach stands in stark contrast to that of the Australian government, which has vowed to crack down on Australia's vaping black market amid concerns that a new generation is becoming addicted to nicotine, leading to calls to ban vaping altogether. Under existing laws in Australia, nicotine vapes can only be purchased with a prescription by adults trying to quit smoking. However, there is a growing cohort of vapers among people under 18 — about 16 per cent in 2021, according to one NSW study — buying mainly disposable vapes on the black market that are being imported and marketed in fluorescent colours and sweet flavours. Loading... "The tobacco industry has found a new way to develop a generation of nicotine addicts, and we will not stand for it," Health Minister Mark Butler said last month. A report released last Friday found there was only "limited evidence" that nicotine e-cigarettes were effective in helping people to quit, however there was "substantial evidence" that e-cigarette use can increase the uptake of tobacco smoking in people who do not smoke. 'Enforcement squad' to protect under-18s The push to swap cigarettes for vapes is driven by the fact that tobacco is still the highest preventable cause of death and illness in Britain, the UK health department said. Its government spent 68 million British pounds ($126.5 million) in 2021-22 on local authority measures to get people to stop smoking, leading to 100,000 smokers quitting, and easing the strain on Britain's overwhelmed National Health Service. British health officials have warned, however, that vaping's popularity among children is exposing them to chemicals whose long-term effects are unclear. Health service figures show 9 per cent of teens aged 11-15 years in Britain had used e-cigarettes in 2021, up from 6 per cent three years prior. The UK government said it would set up an enforcement squad backed by 3 million pounds in funding to prevent the illegal sale of vapes to under-18s.

  2. MAN WATCH ‘ADULT FILMS’ TO GET INTO THE MOOD BECAUSE HIS WIFE NOT ATTRACTIVE ANYMORE My husband secretly watches ‘adult films’ before we have s- just so that he feels in the mood when he does it with me. Advertisements Context Long story short – I don’t really care if my husband watches ‘adult film’ to get off. Especially if we have conflicting schedules or whatever. He’s the one who actually thinks that watching ‘adult films’ is a sin but recently admits that he does it for a reason I am going to explain below. I had a baby 6 months ago and I’m still feeding milk. After feeding baby for so long, my once perky ‘neh neh’ look kinda like deflated sand bags. Earlier this week my husband and I were looking at different kinds of implants and he’s reaaaallly pushing me hard to get some after I’m done feeding our baby. Advertisements He’s a ‘neh neh’ guy. I am cool with all of this and I’m glad we can lay in bed together and look at implants. It’s never really struck me as him not being attracted to me. Just this week he talked about having s- when the kids are asleep or over at my parents and it got me feeling excited that we are finally doing it again. Then he decided to basically reject my advances most of the time when the kids are not around and whenever we do it, he will appear to the toilet first for about 10 minutes before coming back This has happened quite a few times. Tonight I finally asked him how does he release if me and him don’t have s-. I casually asked him if he’s watched any ‘adult films’ lately, and he said “yea I’ve been watching it a lot before you and I have s-”. He says that it is the only way he can get into the mood because he is not physically attracted by me anymore because I’m not the size I used to be.
