Do you think china will stop making or selling ecigs or eliquid? Not a chance!
And if you think they will care about the legal situation in a country before posting something, your having a laugh!

This may well destroy all of the Uk stores but it won't kill off importing it!

That is exactly my previous point. Not good for our vendors, but we already have the likes of Fast tech selling dirt cheap and free postage. They will will be rubbing their hands with glee.

The TPD could see to that though. They are proposing a ban on cross border sales.


matt1988 They never got it wrong, they got it exactly how they were instructed to get it. *cue X-Files music*

If you think ECITA are going to take this lying down, you are so very wrong!

Whoaah fighting talk .... count me in

I've sent my comments to the BBC but I doubt they'll publish them.

I really wish I could speak to one of these berks in person, ask them if it's stupidity, ignorance or corruption that's making them act like the latest Nazi party.
Don't think they'd want to talk to me

Quoted from the article:

"It's not about banning products that some people find useful, it's about making sure that smokers have an effective alternative that they can rely on to meet their needs."

In other words, basically, we realized 1.3million smokers were not paying their taxes, sorry their HIGH HIGH & HIGHER taxes on Fags! we cant have that, thats 1.3 million people not spending as much money!

Ha...ha.... So this is what we'll do: Call it Medicine, tax the hell out of it and hey presto were back in the money! it never was or never will be about the "health" of the public, it never was, if it was always about the health of the public fags would be illegal, it always will be .... PROFITS!

Oh FFS - d'you know, it is absolutely MY choice what I put in my body, not the state's. If I wanted to carry on smoking, I could do so perfectly legally from now until the day I croak. Whether I give up smoking or not is also my choice. Whether I take up vaping or naked bungee jumping is also my choice. Bungee jumping is 100% more likely to be fatal than vaping based on data available to me, and I don't see anyone leaping to ban it. This rhetoric is utter nonsense and covering up the real story.

ITV news about to cover it now. Headline said is it as safe as made out? Tune in

Totally agree jen.....................

P.S................where exactly do you partake in your naked bungee jumping?............just out of interest of course.....

I may have to avoid the news tonight.
My iClear 30 is about to be drained for the second time today and the MHRA wants to make sure I can't refill it.

Am I missing something here? Isn't all nicotine base Pharma produced, hense they will have a liscence for doing so? Can we not buy direct from them if all else fails?

They will probably say no, because you are a member of the general public and too stupid to tie your own shoe laces.
