It's the motile cilia in your sinuses and bronchial tubes working overtime to clean out all the crap after being paralysed from years of smoking it's a good sign. Everyone is different and will have different side effects due to the regeneration of cilia, I currently have a tickly cough with brown speckled phlegm.

Dear Adam Thank you for your recent email concerning possible proposals to introduce MORE EU regulations on tobacco/smoking alternative related products. We would oppose this in the EU Parliament, thus Nikki will be voting against any proposed directive or amendment that would legislate goods such as these sold in the UK . These proposals if passed would only add to the growing list of reasons why we'd be better off out of the EU!! The smoking community needs EU intervention like a fish needs a bicycle – If changes need to be made, those changes should be taken by our democratically elected politicians in Westminster, not by faceless bureaucrats in Brussels. Yours sincerely, Office of Nikki Sinclaire MEP - We DEMAND A REFERENDUM MEP for the West Midlands Region www.letthepeopledecide.eu

Dear Adam
Thank you for your recent email and please accept my sincere apologies in the delay in responding to you due to holidays.
Because e-cigarettes are a relatively new product they are regulated differently in each EU country. Some countries allow e-cigarettes to be sold without any regulation at all. Others have banned the sale of e-cigarettes. As the UK is part of the EU's internal market it is important that we harmonise the way we deal with this product, otherwise consumers could be buying unregulated products which do not conform to basic safety standards, either within their own country, or by easily purchasing it over the internet from a neighbouring country.
The European Commission has proposed that all 'nicotine containing products' with more than 2mg per unit should not be classed as tobacco products. Instead, under the Commission's proposals, nearly all e-cigarettes will need to get authorisation as a pharmaceutical product, in the same way as nicotine patches, sprays and gums.
Of course there is a balance to strike. On one hand e-cigarettes have the potential to be a helpful way to help somebody quit smoking entirely and greatly improve their health. On the other hand e-cigarettes currently can contain up to 48mg of nicotine - far more than a regular cigarette, making them highly addictive. As nicotine is the drug that makes cigarettes addictive, somebody that tries e-cigarettes could be much more likely to go on to smoke regular cigarettes. Furthermore, there is no evidence that e-cigarettes are safe, and it is concerning that they are being marketed as a 'healthy' alternative to smoking.
Currently we do not have any conclusive evidence either that e-cigarettes are helpful for giving up smoking, or that they encourage it.
While we do not have this scientific evidence to rely on I think it is wise to have a cautious approach to e-cigarettes. If they are effective in helping people to stop smoking, then it is appropriate that they are regulated in the same way as other smoking cessation tools, such as nicotine patches.
The Commission proposal is not final and there will be many months of negotiations by the European Parliament, as well as health ministers from the UK and other EU countries, before the legislation is agreed. During this time Labour MEPs will be looking carefully at all of the measures and trying to find the best way to ensure that we effectively reduce smoking rates in the UK and across Europe.
Thanks again for writing to me on this important issue.
Yours sincerely,
Michael

Dear Adam
Thank you for your email about the revised European Tobacco Directive.
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 pragmatic 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 final judgements.
Moreover, in the meantime, I would suggest that you contact your own MP, Daniel Kawczynski, to make him aware of your concerns about the Directive and in particular the parts relating to electronic cigarettes.
Thank you again for writing to me.
Yours sincerely
Anthea McIntyre MEP

izan certainly a different choice but whether or not it's a "better choice" is debatable. The only real difference I can see is that it's £10.95 and made by Sigelei.

yep ok Karma whatever you think is best, if anyone googles with the same daft idea, hopefully the risk of explosion and the probability of a broken charger will put them off. and if it doesn't I'm sure the thought of being hunted down by The Simonator will

My main concern was others reading your posts and trying it! We do have a lot of guests here every day, who may not have anyone to tell them when they are are doing something dangerous you're quite right Karma, I hope you will accept my apology & if you deem it necessary, feel free to delete the thread.
