Good afternoon. More than 25 flood warnings are still in place across | :00:00. | :00:23. | |
London and neighbouring counties. Further heavy rain is expected today | :00:24. | :00:28. | |
and residents and businesses close to the River Thames, particularly in | :00:29. | :00:33. | |
parts of Surrey in Berkshire, are particularly vulnerable. Homes near | :00:34. | :00:36. | |
Chingford have also been flooded. There will be moored in the weather | :00:37. | :00:42. | |
bulletin in a moment. Another London hospital is | :00:43. | :00:44. | |
considering banning electronic cigarettes as part of a growing | :00:45. | :00:48. | |
number of organisations concerned about their use. The Whittington | :00:49. | :00:52. | |
Hospital would be following in the footsteps of the neighbouring | :00:53. | :00:56. | |
hospital, the Royal free, in Hampstead. | :00:57. | :01:00. | |
These people used to be smokers Now they inhaled vapour from the | :01:01. | :01:05. | |
Electric cigarettes. They are so important to them they organise | :01:06. | :01:08. | |
social events with other like`minded people. Sarah says it has | :01:09. | :01:14. | |
revolutionised her life. It has been miraculous for many offers. We like | :01:15. | :01:19. | |
to swap ideas and that sort of thing and we have become friends, mainly | :01:20. | :01:25. | |
social media. Coming in all different shapes and sizes, they | :01:26. | :01:31. | |
deliver nicotine via liquid vapours, offering a smoking sensation without | :01:32. | :01:36. | |
the smoke. But with growing popularity comes growing concern. | :01:37. | :01:39. | |
The University of London has already banned them. In some countries you | :01:40. | :01:44. | |
can only get them on prescription and they are untested. This hospital | :01:45. | :01:50. | |
is now the latest public body to consider a ban, claiming that in | :01:51. | :01:55. | |
line with national guidelines that is insufficient evidence about their | :01:56. | :02:00. | |
long`term safety. Speaking last November, the British Medical | :02:01. | :02:02. | |
Association believe there is an image problem as well. Our concern | :02:03. | :02:08. | |
as that this normalises the behaviour again. We are concerned it | :02:09. | :02:16. | |
will become glamorous again. Some respected scientists disagree. The | :02:17. | :02:20. | |
former government adviser on drugs and recently called them the | :02:21. | :02:23. | |
greatest health advance into vaccines. They are orders of | :02:24. | :02:32. | |
magnitude safer than smoking. The public health community needs to get | :02:33. | :02:36. | |
on board with this and work towards harnessing the public health | :02:37. | :02:39. | |
benefits that we could accrue with this if we can persuade smokers to | :02:40. | :02:44. | |
make the switch. For now, these people are happy not to be smoking | :02:45. | :02:49. | |
cigarettes. A man who was found with stab wounds | :02:50. | :02:54. | |
after crashing into a bus in Stockwell yesterday afternoon has | :02:55. | :02:59. | |
died in hospital. Police say the 22`year`old's death may be connected | :03:00. | :03:02. | |
to earlier reports of a disturbance in the same area. They are appealing | :03:03. | :03:06. | |
for witnesses. Now, with the latest on the rain, | :03:07. | :03:09. | |
