Public Health Wales issues updated advice on e-cigarettes
PUBLIC HEALTH WALES has published its updated position statement providing advice to the public about the potential impacts of e-cigarettes on health. The updated advice says that, for children and young people and non- smoking adults, the use of e-cigarettes is likely to be harmful to health. Current smokers who want to quit are advised to fi nd out about the range of help available to them and choose the approach that is best for them. This help includes proven NHS services like Stop Smoking Wales and community pharmacies. The advice for committed smokers who can’t or won’t quit is that switching completely to e-cigarettes will signifi cantly benefi t their health.
Dr Julie Bishop, Director of Health Improvement for Public Health Wales, said: “We recognise that there are a lot of confusing and contradictory messages around e-cigarettes. This is because there isn’t one simple answer – it is different for different groups of the population. “In simple terms, if you don’t smoke, don’t vape. But if you are a committed smoker who is unwilling or unable to quit, switching completely to e-cigarettes will be benefi cial to your health.” Public Health Wales is committed to a smoke-free and nicotine-free Wales in the longer term. The
new position statement was
approved at a meeting of the Public Health Wales Board on 26th January.

Wales’ very own Ruth Madoc in the hilarious musical based on the hit Adam Sandler fi lm. It’s 1985. Hair is huge, greed is good and rock- star wannabe Robbie Hart is New Jersey’s favourite wedding singer. When his own fi ancée dumps him at the altar a seriously bummed out Robbie makes every wedding as disastrous as his own. West End and Musical Theatre star Jon Robyns plays Robbie Hart. He is joined on stage by British singer-songwriter Ray Quinn as Glen who shot to fame as the runner-up in ITV1’s The X Factor in 2006. West End leading lady and X Factor fi nalist Cassie Compton plays Julia. Playing best friend Holly, Roxanne Pallett is perhaps best known for her long-standing role as
Jo in ITV’s Emmerdale. No stranger to stage and screen, comedy veteran Ruth Madoc joins the company as Grandma Rosie. Samuel Holmes (Mrs Henderson Presents, West End) will play George. The Wedding Singer is
