If you choose Romelee's third option, make sure you run in the direction of the garage then you can get a disposable while your at it

I got a 5ml bottle of HS Menthol Sensation last week, not tried it yet though.

Must be catching this. The other night I dreamt I had an analolgue and in the dream I was annoyed with myself thinking, 'what am I doing, I don't smoke anymore!' Unfortunately, later on in the dream I had another one

One of my replies:-

Chris is greatly in favour of harm reduction as a principle and it may be the case that e-cigarettes help to reduce the numbers of smokers where so many other methods have not had 100% success rates. He thinks it will be necessary to introduce regulations to ensure their safe content but he is opposed to banning them and is not convinced by the European Commission's proposal to restrict their nicotine content.

Research into the long term effects of vaping is not extensive and so the committee will be commissioning some research from its policy department, and MEPs will wish to hear from “stakeholders” such as E-cigarette manufacturers and public health experts. First-hand experience from users of E-cigarettes is also welcome.

The Rapporteur (the MEP in charge of guiding the legislation through the Parliament) is Linda McAvan, a Labour MEP, who seems quite keen to crack down hard on health issues so Chris is consulting with her as to what amendments she may accept.

Chris’s impression is that a substantial number of MEPs appear to be prejudiced against E-cigarettes because they look like cigarettes, and are perhaps overlooking the benefits they may bring to those who are trying to give up smoking.

Your views on flavours would be welcome. Chris doesn’t want to encourage the use of flavours that mighty encourage people to use E-Cigarettes who are not already smokers, but is going to look at the evidence presented to him on whether this may happen.

He is likely to put down some amendments, although you should know that the process will take a number of months. You can keep up with the proposals and the Parliamentary procedure here.

I hope this email has been informative. Do get in touch if there is anything else you would like clarifying.

Kind regards,

My wife finds out when I order ONE item, so to see you get away with ordering a list like that puzzles me

Oh!

Trouble is, the poor unsuspecting people who are being ripped off by these cig-alike companies, only find out they are being ripped off when they find a forum like this to open their eyes.
