George Davis (Street Articles Author)
Hi, I am an ex-pat Englishman living in the wonderful, but windy city, of Wellington, New Zealand. By education and profession I am a scientist and have been for three decades. Currently I work in the field of human genetics but have at times worked as a biochemist and as a botanist- I know at lot about dandelions so feel free to ask questions. I write on a number of subjects for a variety of e-magazines. I also host my own website on smoking cessation. I am thoroughly immersed in the western scientific tradition and I'm a complete rationalist. Paradoxically, I have a passionate interest in alternative medicine and hold a practitioners certificate in Reflexology. All my articles, to date,on this site deal with the vexed problem of smoking cessation. As an ex-smoker, I really understand how hard it is to quit and more importantly how hard it is to stay smoke free, forever. On a personal note: I am married to my beautiful wife Karen and have two grown up children who, have mercifully, inherited their mother's looks.

Things are Complex....
I know I’m playing Devil’s advocate, but for the sake of completeness and fairness I’m going to consider the health benefits of smoking. You may throw up your hands in horror and ask the obvious question: ‘surely there can be no health benefits from smoking?’ If only…
Only at Weekends?
Social smokers are an interesting phenomenon. They occasionally partake in an activity that is highly addictive and appear to be non-addicted. Or are they just deluding themselves? Scientists and Doctors, who like to classify things, define social smokers as those who smoke less than one cigarette a…

The Japanese and Lung Cancer
