There's a recurring piece on the programme about them . . .

A bit short and sweet, at least the point about big Pharma and the government losing millions from tax and revenue was mentioned....which as we all know is the main reason they want to get rid of them. I was quite surprised at the amount of vapour being given off by the cig a likes

[Perpetua]

Some of it has been rehashed from previous broadcasts . . . but they seem to be updating/changing the content from piece to piece.

Well announcement is due at 1pm

[matt1988]

Just watched it, along with a couple of emails. Pretty balanced report, but that brightly coloured one is a non-nicotine containing one isn't it?

Well we will see at 1pm how long we have got to get nic base in, unless they are going to sell unflavoured nic base as a medicine

I thought the piece was mixed, why didn't they show a variety of vaping devices. They also made it sound as though nicotine is the dangerous part of smoking!!!

Heard Mark get a mention, well done.

[matt1988]

The majority of e-cigs are look-a-likes but yeh it would have been said that not all look like a cigarette.

i think it will be classed as a medicine
so looks like i might as well go buy some fags and thank the uk for killing me again
Portugal don't sell ecigs or ejuice
maybe i could fly into the uk every week for a prescription to get my medication !!!
BULL SHIT

[punisher]

can i email them to say thank you anyone got a link

[astralsteph]

I Guess we just have to wait & see what they say! Not Looking forward to it though

[gjdart]

It still gets my back up the way non smokers look down on smokers as if they are some kind of Neanderthals... Do these people ever fall of their pedastals

The brightly coloured one is eshisha,and yes 0% nicotine.

Roll on 1pm, at least we will all know the outcome !

i have to laugh they haven't shown one real vapour on ther with a real ecig only the poxy cig alike
if they had me on ther with the Phoenix running at 10 wats vapping like a dragon they would ban it instantly
Tease-smiley maybe thats a good thing then ops

[punisher]

hm i could fly to the uk and get 3 month supply
10mm per day x92 days = 920mm make it a ltr for good measure
you think the doctors will give me a prescription for a ltr in say 50mm bottles 20 different flavors ?
then let me fly back through customs with it
