There's an interesting article in The Economist about the legal battles occurring now that Big Tobacco has entered the e-cig market.

vigowomble Nice to see the Journalist "get's it" they say:

The e-cigarette business, then, will probably end up much like the smartphone industry (whose miniature-battery technology helped make modern e-cigarettes possible): awash in patent-related lawsuits and counter-lawsuits. Taken together with restrictive and ill-conceived e-cigarette regulations proposed on both sides of the Atlantic, all this may slow growth and innovation in an industry that could greatly reduce the number of smoking-related deaths worldwide. Not exactly a win for anyone involved.

A lot of dollars involved.

Scary.

Thankfully they won't be able to bully their way to control RBAs. If they want to "smoke out" plastic sticks, I don't care.

**** 'em.

Yes, DiscoDes, there are a few. Its a shame that 90% of articles are ill-informed rubbish though. Its going to be a long battle.
