I think I read some years ago that the addiction in smoking was sometimes attributed to one of the many additives in a ciggy and not purely the Nicotine. Adding to other arguments, Kebabs and the like are full of saturated fats but they're not banned because of obsesity. Should lamb be banned to avoid us desiring a Shish?

Hi Expat..
We have a place in Quesada. Do you get your vaping needs met from the UK, if so how quick do you get them. I always go over with more than required but do run close sometimes.

Excellent and amusing ramble Sam. Be proud when out and about with the gear. Being in the City, I get no end of looks and comments, but heh I've converted a few analogue users that way

My reply:
Dear Marina,
Many thanks for the reply.
Thankfully I have now separated myself from smoking, although through ignorance by authority figures, I still have to stand with the smokers when consuming my vapour replacement.
I was fully supportive of the "Outside for Smokers" regulations and still stand by that.
The argument put against my weapon of choice, the ECigarette, is always the safety and scientific nature, but to date nothing concrete has been done to check them out bar a few studies by pharmaceuticals and tobacco companies who have vested interests elsewhere. Why not an EU or GB PLC study?
All I can testify, is that after 38 years and a considerable amount of cigarettes under the bridge, I have now been clean, with no cravings, for 10 months. I have not smoked in excess or 14000 cigarettes and saved over 3000 pounds. I do not smell, my teeth are fine, I breath clearly and can taste and smell again.
I thank you for your time.
Glyn White

Latest MEP reply:
Dear Mr. White,
Thank you for your email.
As you may be aware the Tobacco directive is currently under renewal.
The directive will be coming before the Environment, Public Health and
Food Safety Committee at the European Parliament for consideration in
2013. At this stage the proposals by the European Commission include
regulating packaging and the composition of cigarettes and related
products including electronic cigarettes.
My personal opinion is that I recognise that there are health
implications to smoking and believe that there should be public
awareness but once informed, there should also be freedom of choice.
That said this freedom should not impinge on the freedom of others so a
programmatic solution must be found. Smoking has health implications for
smokers but science has proved that there are also implications for
passive smokers as well. Advertising and the presentation of smoking at
present needs to be looked at and I believe that this directive will do
just that.
More than ten years have passed since the adoption of the current
directive on the issue, during which time various developments have
occurred. In response to this, I look forward to making concrete
contributions towards the proposed directive when the time arrives.
With reference to your specific comments on electric cigarettes the
directive will look at this aspect, and I myself would be very
interested in the scientific background that specifically relates to the
health effects before making any judgements.
Kind regards,
Marina Yannakoudakis MEP

Do shout if you want case studies of long time smokers and quit failures.

Excellent piece and the comment chronology went from initial dismissiveness to information gathering/imparting

Firstsly the gurgling is liquid down the centre tube. Take it off the battery and blow through. The crackiling sound is a healthy cartomiser doing its business. If these are not rebuildable clearomisers, run under a warm water flow to clean and leave to dry. You're doing well - keep with it. I haven't looked backin my brief usage.
