It's not actually as clear cut as that.
They could be taken off sale in 2016 if the TPD directive goes through with the recommendations made by the MHRA as is.
Many people think it's highly unlikely due to previous similar attempts being thrown out, but there is still a chance it could happen. Your ecig will not become illegal overnight but there will be controls implemented that will severely limit the sale of E-cigs as we know them.
Also if it goes through it is likely that nicotine supply will be strictly controlled, meaning that juice makers will have to overcome HUGE hurdles to be able to supply pre-mixed liquids or supply nicotine base liquids for mixing effectively stopping supply to the general public.
We'll still have our e-cigs and probably be able to buy components to make e-cigs but anything described as a e-cig like we have at the moment will not be able to be sold openly. We'll also not be able to buy anything to refill them if it contains nicotine, you'll still be able to buy 0mg liquids and flavours as this sort of legislation cannot apply to the generic ingredients in them.

What Des said, I was just in more of a rush on the way to work But yes, there is no outright ban at the moment and the MHRA recommendation comes into force IF the TPD gets through Brussels as originally proposed, which as Des said is looking shaky at the moment. But the anti e-cig zealots know that time is running out (for both sides) and may try to capitalise on the MHRA recommendation.

This might have been said before but it's looks to me it's turning out to be a battle between the tabacco and pharmaceutical industries with the smoker/vaper being insignificant casualties
