** Is the tide turning? ** With the recent 'swing' towards a more positive slant on Ecigs in the mainstream media, and with all the studies that have been released recently that have proven that vaping is not really smoking's evil twin, is the tide turning in favour of the Electronic Cigarette? Could we be standing on the edge of the new horizon, where vaping becomes an accepted part of everyday life? There are already signs that the latter is occurring all over Europe. More and more vapers are wandering the streets proudly displaying their various devices, and vaping freely with rather less raised eyebrows than there were just a few short months ago. It really does seem that the general public is becoming more accepting of the vaping community. From a vapers perspective, we have merely exchanged a highly dangerous habit for a far less risky one, much like changing from a diet full of fat and sugar, to one full of salads and sugar-free drinks. From the public's point of view, they seem to be beginning to understand what we're trying to achieve. Ultimately, with the reduction in smoking comes a reduction in cigarette butts on the streets, so cleaner footpaths, cleaner dustbins, so a reduction in waste essentially, (less cigarette butts, less cigarette packets etc). So the public are starting to see the advantages of vaping over smoking. So essentially, we are witnessing an evolution, from the harmful tobacco smoking era, to the safer, less fatal Ecig, and surely that has to come sooner rather than later...

It is on the streets, in the closed meeting rooms of power (WHO + FDA in particular) Is Where the battle will climax, hopefully.

Even ASH Wales are starting to get it, ASH Scotland are getting even more marginalised.
