Jake, Barry, please call it quits & let's just enjoy the outcome of today's vote. 

Agreed. And Barry, no hard feelings pal. Just please do not judge me, that is the ONLY thing I ask of anyone.

Now let the celebrations commence! 5 more mins then home time then maybe a cheeky glass or two

The so called majority of "Elites" however do NOT want you to have an opinion as it can directly affect their profit margins. Capeesh?

You actually couldn't stop yourself, could you?

If that's the last time you mention 'elites' today, I'll be happy not to engage with you further.

Do not worry, the feeling is dam mutual. Personally I will say you are THE most rude person I have met yet on AAEC and there has been some pretty funny people here.

Enjoy life judging people by your own clearly "perfect self". Just remember Pal, you are NOT above anyone else. The sooner you realize that, the sooner you may open your eyes to "other opinions".

Good day to you!

Follow-up email from Chris Davis MEP:

We had a great day in the European Parliament today – and without your help it could very easily have been a disaster.



The European Parliament is very different from the UK Parliament. It is always balanced with no one party having control and there are no permanent coalitions. Issues are voted on one by one and lobbying by citizens can really make a difference.



You were part of the difference this time.



Medical regulation of e-cigarettes was rejected by 362-298. That wouldn’t have happened a month ago.



We won the vote on allowing flavourings in e-cigs by 342-317. That wouldn’t have happened a month ago.



This is your victory but the road doesn’t end here, the final shape of the legislation must now be negotiated with national governments, and many of those have made clear that they want the medicinal regulation approach.



I hope we can persuade them to change tack and accept the sense of the Parliament's position. There may be other opportunities for us to campaign together.



Make no mistake, smoking is immensely damaging, shortens 700,000 lives across the EU every year and I support efforts to reduce tobacco use. That’s why I am such a supporter of e-cigs.



I’ll keep you up to date with the e-cigs campaign but I would also like to keep you up to date with my wider campaigning. Please fill in my survey at www.chrisdaviesmep.org.uk/survey_gen if you want to be kept up to date. There are some political questions in there but that’s so I know how I am doing and makes no difference to the service I provide!



Thanks again for your help so far, if you want to let a friend know how to sign up for information on the e-cig campaign please point them at www.chrisdaviesmep.org.uk/show_your_support_for_e_cigarettes or forward this email to them.



I’ll be in touch once we know more about the next steps for e-cig legislation
