There are trace levels of TSNA's in e-cig vapour, the same is there is in NRT - the levels are so low that they cannot be measured and are so low that they are considered to have no effect on human health.

IF, and it is IF the show broadcasts false information about e-cigs, get ready to complain to OFCOM - (details of how to do this will be posted if necessary)

Reproduced from my blog - posted here (rather than the ECCA sub forum) as it is more Campaigning news about ECCA rather than a pure ECCA post





I have decided to get much more involved in ECCA, and I am encouraging as many other people as possible to do the same.



The public, especially smokers, are more curious than ever about electronic cigarettes. I believe that ECCA could be, and should be, one of the first points of call for a member of the public who is interested about electronic cigarettes and wants to find out some accurate information about the products that are available.

With the MHRA proposals due and the ongoing EU Tobacco Products Directive, it is a crucial time to have an active and outspoken consumer association for e-cig users. Events can rapidly change the situation and the media is rife with speculation and poor information about e-cigs. ECCA should be one of the first points of call for a journalist researching a story about e-cigarettes.

I propose a change of direction, and a call for action.

The existing ECCA committee are a fantastic group of committed individuals and I would like to work alongside them - but I believe that a change of direction is needed in order to develop and expand the group so that is represents as many e-cig users as possible.




- ECCA will seek to represent the largest possible cross section of e-cigarette users, this means we actively include users of all brands, including users of disposables and mass-market brands, and include dual users as well.

- ECCA will actively demand representation in the political process, in so far as it affects users of e-cigarettes - providing representatives to take part in and give evidence to Government departments and political committees and sub-committees as well as take an active role in any consultation process.

- ECCA will examine and, if necessary, challenge claims made by e-cigarette companies. For example the cigarette equivalence claims made for cartomisers (is a cart really equal to 40 cigs, for example? the smoking public should have accurate info) - we will examine all claims from different brands to ensure accurate information and a fair deal for the customer.

- Launch an Annual "Swaptober" event. Every year during the month of October, have an intensive marketing campaign that promotes the benefits of e-cigarettes for smokers and encourage smokers to swap to e-cigarettes.

- Change the structure of ECCA to allow for a leadership role to take quick decisions - but at the same time introduce fortnightly Skype meetings of committee members, to discuss policy issues.

- Monthly online public meetings, either via online Chat or Skype - to allow input from members regardless of geographical location within the UK - to allow for maximum participation and representation.

- Re-vamp the ECCA website and seek out people with internet expertise to use Search Engine Optimisation to bring the ECCA site to the top of UK web searches for electronic cigarettes to maximise exposure to new users.

- Abolish the ECCA forum on the website and replace with active participation on the already existing and much more popular Vaping and E-Cig forums.

I want ECCA to have an active voice and wield the clout to represent the e-cigarette consumer voice.

Now is the time to take it to the next level.
