Nicoventures???

[Blownupdolly]

I have just stumbled across this whilst looking for something completely different.

www.nicoventures.co.uk/what-is-nicoventures

If you click on the "ownership" tab. They are within the Brish American Tobacco Group!!

Has anyone else heard of this? It appears the big guns could be on our tails, although they are not admitting what this new "technology' is.

Old news, really... BAT as a business has bought out Intellicig/CN Creative, and is also in cahoots with Kind Consumer via Nicoventures developing the Nicotine Pyruvate alternative which isn't an e-cig, but is part of what Murray Laugesen was involved with at the start of 2012.

Not sure what you mean by "on our tails" - but they could be a very good ally during the difficulties we'll face with the EU come February 25th.

We'll be covering all of this on VT Talk at www.vapourtrails.tv starting Jan 9th, when I'm hoping to have Gerry Stimson, Clive Bates and Deboarh Arnott on the show - serious times ahead.

Oh i see. I am fairly new to all this so wouldn't have known before. So, if it isn't an ecig what is it?

Tis ok, i found it myself. It's a inhaler.
I hope it is not the same thing i was given a while back when admitted to a hospital in Harrow because it was so bad i nearly choked on it.

Maybe...

My worry is that the whole thing is likely to get colossally complicated.

The companies with money will get approval (regulation-type) for their products, find "differences" between what they sell and have developed compared to what we use. They get the market, charge a fortune and leave us all high and dry.

I don't trust anyone in any non-smoked-tobacco/nicotine industry other than manufacturers and vendors of every-day e-cig/vaping devices which sit in a "loophole" to the best of my knowledge.

You can bet that whatever products come out of new ventures into NCP/NRT they will be suspiciously just under the price of a pack of fags.

Money, money. money. It drives me insane.

Who will benefit from the new laws (if passed) anyway? Will it protect young and vulnerable people?

[Blownupdolly]

The only thing that will be protected in this financial crisis is big money leading to big tax payments to government coffers. Human beings will be right down the list.

Yeah, it's kinda an inhaler, but produces an aerosol (as e-cigs do) which may or may not include a visible manifestation with some warmth. Since Laugesen at al went public about it, there have been very few details released, so nobody really knows what the actual experience will be. To my knowledge, though, it's nothing like the plastic tampon inhaler.

I should hope not, it was nasty! In fact it even put me off trying an ecig for the fear it would be a similar experience
