Errr yeh right.. back to ther serious stuff.. so what about all this demanding? tbh someone makes demands, I take no notice! Ask me politely you'll stand a chance, present me with a reasonable argument, I'll consider your side. ETA with reference to the manifesto's demands

I'm a part of ViP, and I'm not on AAEC a lot because when I started vaping, I happened to land on UKV - where I have 3 562 posts and over 2 months spent online. The idea that Vapers in Power is anything other than a few vapers trying to do something is shocking, you couldn't get more grassroots. Support or not, that's ok. We're just trying to do something. Incidentally, this is what happened when we met a couple of 18 year old vapers at Vapefest: linkWe're offering memberships because, believe it or not, it actually costs money to do stuff - like print out leaflets, stand candidates in elections so we can publicise the pros of vaping. And, our members will tell us what to do!

Think it's fine that you have posted this here. Personally not keen on politics and am also unsure about the notion of promoting vaping in public. I think vaping is great getting people off the fags, but I am concerned that big companies will promote vaping in the same way they did tobacco - and with the same intent - to make shed loads of money by getting people addicted to nicotine. So, personally, I would like to see advertising well regulated. Therefore a blanket statement like 'defending the right to promote ecigs in public' is not something I could support wholeheartedly. I think that many might disagree, but there we go.

Thank you for your feedback beedee - this is just to elaborate on that part of the manifesto a bit. The sentence about the right to promote vaping in public is in there partly because Article 20 of the TPD is ambiguous in places - and could be read to say that discussing vaping in public will be prohibited - eg on vaping forums. It is possible that the authors of the TPD are using "promote" in the same sense that you are - paid advertising - but "promote" can also refer to endorsing or discussing in a positive light. It's the key reason why Vapers in Power was founded - to defend the right to speak about vaping. Here's the about us section on the ViP website, which goes into it in more detail link I realise that your main point isn't affected by this - I just wanted to explain a bit more about what is behind that sentence.
