EU community action for e-cigarettes

[liscab]

hello vapers, it is a comment from Rolygates at ECF, i think we all should take a look a it


Moves are now being made by people in several European countries to form national community groups, and then join together to form an EU community group, in order to resist any proposed unjust EU laws on e-cigarettes.

If you are in the EU region, you may want to see what is happening in your country with regard to the formation of a community action/advocacy group (like the US's CASAA).

Soon, we will be trying to help national groups get together in order to form a European association.


How to start a national community association?
Who has the right to speak for their country? The answer to this is: you.

Find others who will stand up and speak out about unjust laws. Announce it in forums. Speak with others who respond. Get together. Choose a name for your national association. Get a website. Do something before it is too late.

What will you do if the EU bans e-cigarettes? It will be too late then - so you must act now. In the US, they did act - they formed CASAA, and it is an excellent model on which to base national community associations. They and others combined to resist the pressures exerted to ban e-cigarettes. Now people in Europe need to do the same.

Holland / Nederland has already started this process and seems to be ahead of the rest. Congrats!

Hi Lisc, thanks for posting this thread & the links I received an email this morning about this from Rolygate. Lol, he had just signed it "Chris" so it took an extra cup of coffee before my brain clicked it was from Roly

Looks like Roly's interview on vapourtrails TV was cancelled as he couldn't ,make it.

Update from Dave (Hifistud) : -

"Technical problems meant that Rolygate's appearance will now be next monday, 9pm BST and onwards, assuming his BT Broadband gremlins don't do the dirty on him again. "

[hifistud]

And indeed it was.. www.vapourtrails.tv/?p=868 gets you to it... well worth a watch, I'd say and it looks like great things may come of it...

[Chrissie]

Thanks Hifi - going to watch it a bit later this afternoon.

[classwife]

This is an informative interview.....really makes you think...

[ckc]

Last nights first meeting took place, the recording of the meeting is available for listening here:-

www.vapourtrails.tv/

(not sure how long it'll be on the front page)

It was decided that the new community will be called "ECCAUK" Electronic Cigarette Consumer Association UK.

A place in UK Vapers has been added for discussions.

Am I the only one that has problems watching Vapourtrails TV?

I can watch the adverts but after that the streaming takes for ever & then if/when it eventually loads, it's so badly pixlated

[liscab]

some of the videos have a very low quality but the stream is ok
