I never realised Spain had gone so draconian on e-cigs. This definitely needs support.

I have the ear of a oncologist at the hospital who actually understands and privately supports ecigs. That may be a way in for me. I have an appointment in a couple of weeks

68 Drs + Health Pro's from 17 countries have already signed up to this campaign


To aid people contacting their own Drs+ other suitable Health pros( nurses,dentists,etc etc) ,a template letter has been prepared to assist

''Dear ……….
Over the last few years a disruptive technology has been developing which has created heated debate within the ranks of Public Health. It is the emergence of the electronic cigarette or personal vaporiser which has ignited this controversy.
It has become increasingly obvious that many doctors, researchers and other relevant academics, understand the important role that these devices can play in reducing the harm done by smoking, indeed, perhaps even the possibility of rendering cigarette smoking redundant.
Against this is the weight of publicity being produced by large organisations using their power and influence to sway, even control the actions of medical practitioners.
However, against this backdrop, there is an energetic movement by doctors and grass root public health workers to see a safer alternative to smoking accepted. If you are one of these doctors, researchers or public health workers or belong to any other relevant profession, if you are dedicated to seeing harm being reduced: if you would like to be kept in touch with latest developments and with other professionals of like mind, please read, and if you agree, register with M.O.V.E
You can do so here at sciencecig.wordpress.com/
Yours faithfully''

Here's another sample letter - might help with inspiration

Dear Doctor _______

Please see the link to the MOVE manifesto below. I hope that you will read it and reflect on its content, and on who has written it. Please review the hundreds of published studies on electronic cigarettes and form your own opinion. And then, imagine a world without tobacco and what it could mean for your patients.

Knowing your values and ethics I am sure that after reading this manifesto you will support it.

Yours faithfully,

What the Dr has to say about the WHO's plans for the classification of nicotine this year is extremely concerning.
