Waking up to ASH Wales
I was still at home in my dressing gown when I was interviewed by BBC Radio Wales this morning.
Oh, and the dog was scrabbling at the door, trying to get into the room.
Maybe that's why I was a trifle tetchy with Carole Morgan-Jones of ASH Wales.
The BBC website describes our encounter thus:
A ban on cigarette vending machine sales has come into force in Wales. It prompted a lively debate chaired by Felicity Evans on Good Morning Wales involving Carole Morgan-Jones, of Action on Smoking and Health (Ash) in Wales, and Simon Clark, director of the smoking group Forest.
You can listen here.
A reader writes:
Our local has a sign behind the bar, saying: 'This notice is to advise you that we're not allowed to tell you we sell cigarettes'. Then for eight quid, the landlord will obtain (20!) cigarettes from his otherwise redundant fag machine!
You couldn't make it up.
