Once again the actions of a small minority are used as an excuse to impose nannying restrictions on the majority.
Tough New Controls For Everyday Pain Killers
Officials estimate that 32,000 people may be addicted to OTC pain killers, so 32,000 out of 61 mio by my maths that's 0.05% of the population. Not a lot really, even leaving aside the sliding scale that is the definition of addition, depending on your vested interest and who is paying you, ( one pint a day makes you an alcoholic to some).
'Officials estimate that 32,000 people may be addicted' do they indeed, well there's the science right there, I'm convinced or did they survey a few GP's and then as always extrapolate the result to the whole country.

Dr Brian Iddon, who was chair of the All Party Parliamentary Group on Drug Misuse when the report was published, said: 'We are really pleased that the MHRA are now sitting up and taking notice. It is the hidden addiction, but it is affecting many, many more people than we think.'
'Than we think' So you don't actually know , so as usual with all the nannying statistics, if the numbers don't actually add up to much, exaggerate them with 'hidden' victims. Oh do cock off.
'We are really pleased that the MHRA are now sitting up and taking notice.' Well of course they are or next you will be accusing them of selling smack to children outside the school gates.
So another little bit of our self determination, our control over our own bodies and minds is chipped away and nobody complains because to do so would mean you want people to be addicts and that makes you evil.
But you see I'm wise to you banstubators now and your ways of gaining control over the minutiae of everyday life and a lot of people are feeling the same way. I'm just waiting for the final straw and you know how badly that went for the camel, and you 'Dr' Brian Iddon MP and your ilk are the camels.
Disingenuous much: It's interesting to note that in all the articles Brian Iddon MP is referred to as Dr. and they leave off the MP. Well yes he is a Doctor but in Organic Chemistry ( Phd. 1964 ) So he is perfectly entitled to call himself Dr. But that doesn't make him an MD , which is what this reporting seems to imply.
Remember: A plausible manner and a white coat does not a physician make.

We have our few at work who have their 'issues' with Nurofen Plus and Panadiene Extra i.e codeine abuse. But the longer term issue is their respective stomach and kidney or liver damage done over a period of years. Then the public hospital system already overstretched and underfunded has to deal with their bleeding ulcers and liver transplants.
