Perhaps unsurprisingly one of my UKIP MEPs was very supportive although not very optimistic.
Still really appreciated the fast reply, only mailed him yesterday morning!
I did correct him on the Lib Dem and Conservative view though even if it's only a few special MEPs that are almost part of the family!
I also let him know we are never going to give up, this is life or death for us.

"UKIP, being strongly libertarian, agrees with your personal rights to take tobacco and the like for whatever personal pleasure you take from it. We believe that the EU should have no jurisdiction over us either as persons or as the United Kingdom in these matters, and that we are entirely able to take these decisions for ourselves as responsible individuals and as an independent nation. We will certainly oppose this legislation at all levels, from votes in committee, speeches as opportunity arises, meetings with industry lobbyists (BAT are in contact with us), and final votes in the Strasbourg parliament.

Unfortunately, our chances of success in votes and amendments are small as the three old parties all vote against us and in line with the EU band-wagon. The EU is entirely against personal liberty and freedom, and certainly wishes you to be forced to be healthy in the way it decides for you.

Very best William Dartmouth"

But let's not forget the leader Farage is a smoker...

They've got MEPs in Brussels and that's good enough for me at the moment
