I'm convinced they are currently playing for deadlock,
The result will be article 18 gets jettisoned and we
Don't get any protection, they are hanging out for a fresh round of legislation
Next year.

Looks to me like they've dropped the 'only NRT flavours', and otherwise mostly just improved the wording, but interestingly they have removed the ban on describing e-cigs using tobacco/cigarette brand names.
I've been thinking we are mostly up against big pharma, but this looks more like big tobacco.
Looks to me like big T expect to have an approved cig-alike, or have an aim of ditching the medical requirement but limiting e-cigs to non-refillable cig-alikes - a market which they could expect to dominate.
