E-Cigarettes : Cant live without Nicotine


The pubs in UK are starting to use E-Cigs to beat the smoking ban..
The new E.cig smokes like a real cigarette and users get a shot of nicotine every time they inhale.The device even produces a cloud of water vapor with every puff, though causes no harm to smokers.

Users can choose between No nicotine, Low, medium or high nicotine, menthol, strawberry or cherry.The makers of the product at The Electronic Cigarette Company say the vapour produced is odourless and contains no tar or carbon monoxide, resulting in no risk of passive smoking.

However the company say the E.Cigs are just as addictive as the real thing.


Cigarettes, a necessity now a days for many people has become a part of life.This culture has seeped to India lately where smoking is considered as a trend.Many smoke only for the charm of the same.And it will not take long for this e-cig to make it way to the Indian market, given that the ban on smoking is now strict in the IT sector.People will be very glad to get a puff or two with this geek-like device...Oops what else can be done with this??? Lets see.. we are not far from all that..

Unbelievable Survival

clipped from www.dailymail.co.uk

The baby who survived 50 blood transfusions and a flesh-eating bug


When Victoria Simmonds gave birth at only 23 weeks, her son Kaven weighed just over 1lb and doctors put his chances of survival at nil.


He was so fragile that his ribs broke with the effort of breathing, and both of his legs fractured as his nappy was changed.


As he hung on to life he suffered a flesh-eating bug inside his stomach, and he underwent a gruelling six operations and 50 blood transfusions.

But after six months in hospital, Kaven - one the most premature babies ever born in the UK - was finally allowed to go home.

And yesterday his mother told of the moment she became convinced he would survive.

"When he put his tiny hand on to mine, I knew he was going to be all right," said Miss Simmonds, 25, a civil servant from Cardiff. "He is such a little fighter."

"We had him baptised before the operation, as the doctors didn't think he would be coming back. We just had to sit and pray that he would hang on."
