Danish politician, Merete Riisager (pictured above), has announced that Denmark has rejected the Tobacco Products Directive.The Danish EU-committee, had a closed meeting friday where the rejection was decided by a majority vote. They say that they refuse to accept a ban on electronic cigarettes or snus (and also menthol and slim cigarettes - and will simply reject any such proposals. The politicians in Denmark appear to have the backbone required to work in the best interests of their citizens. Now that Denmark has shown the lead, will the UK government also demonstrate that it also has the backbone to do the right thing. More details and a fuller account of this news has just been published on Christopher Snowdons blog here : velvetgloveironfist.blogspot.co.uk/2013/03/denmark-rejects-tobacco-products.html.

I work for a Danish company and have had several visits over there. One things the Danes are good at is that they don't stand for a lot of the bollocks that the EU spout. Hence still being out of the Euro and on the Danish Krone and that they have been consistently voted the happiest of all the Europeans. All we need now is for our UK politicians to grow a pair.

Austria do not play ball with the EU either. You can still smoke inside bars and restaurants there. They have smoking and no smoking areas. The sensible approach.
Good on Denamrk, hope they are the first of many.
