The bungled science has been revealed – Now they need to review the tobacco products directive

The news that new scientific evidence proves e-cigarette liquid is no more dangerous than washing up liquid is a game changer.  Scientists have revealed that basic maths errors by EU officials mean e-cigarette liquid has been wrongly categorised as a highly dangerous substance. Instead of being categorised alongside deadly chemicals like strychnine and formaldehyde, e-liquid belongs be in a much lower hazard category alongside washing-up liquid. If they can get that simple mathematical equation wrong, then what else has potentially been bungled or overstated? Firstly, they need to retrace every step that has seen hugely restrictive legislation and the threat of further sanctions come down on this industry like a sandstorm. The Tobacco Products … 

Maybe i'm late to the party but this is pretty fantastic news.  A few people sent this to me.  This particular link came from David from the UK.  Thanks for the link David!

Plea to vapers everywhere

Dave Dorn with a call to action to avert the biggest disaster for e-cigs in Europe that could be imagined.

THE Euro MP for Burton has voiced opposition to plans for a European-wide ban on electronic cigarettes.

She said: “Users of e-cigarettes have contacted me in their thousands.

“This community, known as vapers, have been calling for MEPs to block this new legislation as they believe that it will be detrimental to the people who choose to use them.”

To me this seems like good news? There might be hope for the EU and UK after all

Despite electronic cigarettes still being in their international infancy, they are now thought to be the UK's most popular smoking cessation aid with 1.3 million users.

1.3 MILLION!! That's M-I-L-L-I-O-N with a capital M , 1.3 million vapers in the UK.  This just makes me happy.  How can the MHRE ignore those kinds of numbers? 

Easily the best line in the whole article right here

"Making them medicines, as the MHRA and EU propose, would render e-cigarettes less attractive and available than tobacco, protecting the cigarette market and leading to smoking related deaths that could easily have been avoided if smokers could choose a viable alternative."

I could not have said it better myself.  Wake up MHRA! you do not have the public's best interests in mind!

SMOKE WITHOUT FIRE: OUR STORY PART 1

E-cig users worldwide are facing bans that will drive the majority of users back to tobacco. The EU wants to class them as medicines and limit their strength below an effective level. There are around 750,000 "vapers" in the UK alone. Please take a moment to listen to their story.

Smoke without fire: The story of the e-cig is a documentary project produced by Andy Sutton. Find us on Facebook or Twitter for more information.
