Cut down/stock up . . . I'd imagine that will be the plan for many of us Punisher.

How e-cigarettes work

Electronic cigarettes are generally considered a safer alternative to normal cigarettes because they do not contain tobacco.

The devices dispense nicotine, which is highly addictive but not as dangerous as tobacco.

User sucks on mouthpiece
Sensor detects airflow and heats liquid inside replaceable cartridge
User inhales vapour and nicotine is delivered to lungs


wher do they get this CRAP from lol they now nothing about vaping

[punisher]

i want one of the new ecigs that senses the airflow
wher can i buy one

[Bluefish]

You couldn't make it up could you? Cigarette's are come under this and they are really safe aren't they, boils my piss it does

[punisher]

so they have decided to class all devices that deliver nicotine ?
so i assume cigarettes will now be classed as a medicine as well !!
hand held nicotine delivery device

Madness isn't it Blue . . . they'd rather we smoked, as they're certain that kills us.

Reducing the harms of smoking to smokers and those around them is a key Government health priority. Our research has shown that existing electronic cigarettes and other nicotine containing products on the market are not good enough to meet this public health priority.

They have never heard of a vv/vw device with a tank on top.

So I'm now on medication?

Couldn't say coz I don't know if you take anything else, but your current electronic nicotine delivery device is not a medicine (apparently its a dangerous unknown) and is unlikely to be if they have their way as it won't have a marketing authorisation.
So to sum up, unless you're taking other stuff, your nicotine is not a medicine because it has not been deemed safe by the pharmaceutical shills.

Any move that makes using ecigs harder to do makes it less likely that people will quit the stinkies in favour of the safe option. Dear MHRA, please google 'law of unintended consequences'.

That's right very, I'm a bad dangerous dude, stay away or I'll poke you with my cig a like. Some may say I should be, but no I'm not on medication

when this becomes regulated as medicine, surely a workplace cannot ban their use indoors. So if your going to wetherspoons don't worry its ok to vape indoors or anywhere else in fact. Its opens up another can of worms.

Just managed to see BBC news 24. They had the cig-a-like bloke on.

When asked if ecigs are 100% safe, he said they are 99% safe, nothing is 100% safe including water....brilliant answer.

I thought he gave an excellent interview Zelda . . . whether he'll be listened to is another matter.
