Chairmans Blog: To stock, or not to stock - that is the question?

Picture
There has been a lot of chatter in the press recently about e-cigarettes...and opinion is firmly divided...
 
Some say that such products are "an unregulated and potentially dangerous item" that may encourage others to smoke - and certainly perpetuate the "smoking" concept...while others say that e-cigarettes are better than smoking - and by stocking them the pharmacy staff may begin other conversations about smoking cessation and harm minimisation.
 
What's your view?
 
Please read our leader article here on our main page, and place your vote!
