WHO revises its previous proposal (and plans) to ban electro

[markm]

The WHO are just warming things up for COP6 FCTC which is due
To take place in October, if they get their way ecigs become classed
As a tobacco product, in one clean sweep we become smokers again.
With a bit of luck no one will want to send a delegation to Moscow

[toots]

Just been reading all the proposals for regulation by the WHO (on their website) and regarding flavours they want to ban fruit, candy-like and alcohol-drink flavours. Ummm, what flavours does that leave us with - tobacco & mint by the looks of it, and that's about all

OMG that means 'goodbye' to Red Astaire - Noooooooooooooo

The people making these decisions are not Doctors or Scientists they are probably the same group of idiots that said we can't have Danish Pastries unless they come from Denmark and more than likely the same crew that wanted the straight Banana.

They can't ban concentrate, boots sell vg so I'm sorted not worried about nicotine, but will say if they ban eliquid does it mean mist spray gets banned?

.. and why do the BBC insist on turning to E-Lites for comment?

Has it not occurred to them that maybe E-Lites are the biggest because they sell the most (£s), because the product is FOUR times as expensive as other brands competing in the market place.

anyhow, E-Lites are owned by a Tobacco company, so no comment from them can be trusted...

not that it ever was.... the biggest "con" on the market. E-Lites are partly responsible for many people NOT taking vaping seriously.

It grinds my flippin' gears.

Before elites sold their company to a tobacco company they were one of the biggest funders in campaigning for ecigarettes. A major criticism from vapers is vendors need to do more and there weren't many, if any out there doing more than elites.

Whether people liked their product or not (I'd say sales figures and the fact a tobacco company bought them out suggests people did) they actually did a lot of good for vaping behind the scenes.

Its funny but the two companies that come in for criticism from vapers more than any others, (elites and totally wicked) are/were actually the ones stepping up to the plate to fight.

I find that rather ironic.

Indeed it is.
