BBC York on Electronic Cigarettes - Finale

I thought I'd record the ending summary of the Johnathan Cowap show because there are only 2 days listening time left for this programme. To say I was disappointed would be an understatement. I love the BBC but local radio like this really lets the side down imo.
I think the main problem with the show was that there wasn't any proper research to identify a) what ecigs are and who should be interviewed to give the public an informed view. This may be down to resources but, if so, not doing an item might be preferable to doing it in an uninformed and misleading manner. Anyway, here is the transcript of the finale:

Johnathan Cowap (JC) - On BBC radio York this morning, we heard more about the restaurant in Harrogate thats become one of the very first in the country to host a vaping night. Dave Burns is the owner and a self-confessed vaper [lang and strong emphasis makes him sound like a crack addict] and he explained how the electronic cigarette looks and how it works...
Dave - I would say it looks a bit like a posh Parker pen, similar length. It breaks down into three bits; the battery, the atomiser and then the tank, which is the one I'm using at the moment, which holds the liquid that vaporises which you inhale. You press the button - you may hear it crackling there - and then you inhale the vapour - about 3 or 4 seconds and then you exhale the vapour. You've had your little nicotine treat and I'm using tobacco with a hint of tiramisu today. Thats my favourite.
JC - Tobacco with a hint of tiramis-ooo did the man say? Yes, he certainly did! Well it prompted the question from me this morning: "Has the smoking ban made your life better or worse?" and I said it would be good to hear from anybody who actually uses one of these ecigarettes. We did and you can hear what she said in a moment. Graham, though, runs a newsagents in Harrogate. He stocks them and he says they're a cheaper option and he's seen sales go up
Graham - This one we sell is a throwaway. Its like 30 cigarettes in one. I've had one woman that's been back 3 or 4 times and bought one each time basically because she goes to a lot of meetings so she's using one of these as a meeting thing, do you know what I mean?
JC - Well Joy. in Seamer [Scarborough] as I said, says its her right to keep smoking, so much so that, when she's not allowed to light a real cigarette, she does, actually, vape!
Joy - I enjoy my cigarettes when I can smoke and I do smoke in my own home which is my right. Smokers haven't got a choice now.
JC - (chuckles) And, finally, Peter in Strensal [York]l, is a smoker and he agrees with that comment. He says he's not against the smoking ban but, actually thinks there should be a little bit more flexibility.
Peter - I can understand it in, you know, cinemas and theatres and shops, what have you, but pubs, clubs, bars, restaurants - I think they should have been given the option of deciding 'we are a smoking establishment' or 'we are a non-smoking establishment'; put a big sign on the door and then it gives everybody the choice
JC - Thanks for all your calls and contributions on that controversial subject this morning. We shall do something the same, only different, if you know what I mean, at 9 tomorrow.
I'm afraid there was worse in the actual programme and the only really intelligent comments were about the huge rise in drink spiking thats happened since the smoking ban. Our local police have had to devote a lot of resources to that issue but I digress.
I do hope that ECCAUK, ECITA and do something to correct the imbalance.
