EU wrong about e-liquid - news has reached Italian papers

[toots]

English version of it: www.gazzettadelsud.it/news/english/100180/EU--wrong-to-say-e-cigarette-liquid-dangerous-.html

It's not much of a report but at least it has gone international. Haven't found any English papers yet reporting the news

Cheers toots, it was brief but to the point and nice to have a proper English translation.

Oh yeah, you're right, what made me think it was in French

The Italians picked it up so fast because one of the researchers was from the University of Catania. The newspaper is a southern one, and Catania is at the very Southern end of Italy.

The French one translated.... Or Italian


The liquid contained in the e-cig would not be very harmful'''' as required by the European classification. Emerges from the study performed by Bibra, among the largest consulting firm toxicological and commissioned by Ecita, which brings together British manufacturers of e-cig. The review was carried out by an international group which is part of the Italian Riccardo Polosa of the University of Catania and member of the working group of the Ministry of Health on the e-cig. The study shows the error of the classification of liquids, which according to the CLP labeling and packaging, have been placed in category 2 (toxic) or 3 (from attenzionare), alongside highly dangerous substances, like strychnine or formaldehyde. According to the new report, the liquids are to be included in risk category 4, along with common detergents. As a result, according to the researchers, the vast majority of the liquid (or at least those with concentrations below 25 mg nicotine or 2.5%) did not require any kind of formal warning of danger on the label. "vapor of electronic cigarettes is up to a thousand times less toxic than the smoke of conventional cigarettes, "says Riccardo Polosa that, on the analysis adds:" 'outrageous that an institution shows these oversights. Probably those who have made ??previous classifications did not consider the fact that these mixtures and instead considered them as containing nicotine in purity, 100%. " "The reckless scaremongering that has seen the risks of e-cigarettes are equivalent to those of cigarettes has created two huge problems to public health" - says Katherine Devlin of ECITA. "The first is that millions of smokers were likely to leave the e-cig, and so were all exposed to massive risks of smoking. The second - he added - is that alarmism has led to a European directive on tobacco products which in 2016 will ban all the products in the e-cig currents unless they undergo expensive tests of quality, as if they were drugs, which would result in a disproportionate increase in prices. This will lead to reduce the use of the product and to push people to return smoking, which, in the ten years since the arrival of the e-cig in Europe, has claimed the lives of 7 million people. vaporizers, however, did not kill anyone.
