"But we have concerns around the visualisation of e-cigarettes and the marketing of them. We are concerned that children will see someone using an e-cigarette as someone smoking a real one and more people will start smoking.


What a load of crap that is, do they not realise that if they didn't have the ecig a normal fag would be hanging out there mouth. Beyond stupid

" But we want people to know that there are other products that give nicotine in the same way. "


Obviously never been a smoker or tried conventional NRT products . . . and that's the problem, these so say health experts have no conception of what a large percentage of smokers are looking for or need to help them switch from tobacco smoking.

Isn't it ironic though.... they say:

We are concerned that children will see someone using an e-cigarette as someone smoking a real one and more people will start smoking.

yet their actions, if successful, would eliminate all the decent PVs on the market leaving a licensed cigalike (Nicadex) in charge!

I was vaping yesterday in a crowded town centre. I was using a mini Provari with a Kayfun on top. I dare say some children may have seen me. They may have wondered what I was about, but I'm fairly certain none of them thought I was smoking a tobacco cigarette!
