Aye, that's true - and most of them are discounted since the ANTZ will dry that each of s is signing every last one of them, so the numbers are inflated. Contact with MPs and MEPs is the most effective route...

The daft thing is that if everybody with a big-ish e-cig just used 'em wherever and whenever, and didn't bat an eyelid about it, you'd see folks picking up on 'em a lot quicker. The more folks see 'em being used, the more they'll give them a go - it's called the tipping effect, and we're close.

Excellent news, and well done. Let's hope everybody does the same!!

On the petitions front, there really isn't the time to go through the whole thing - this nonsense starts its passage through the EU process on Feb 25th - See the programme below for what needs doing:

It might be worthwhile pointing out to her that the mechanism by which the vapour is produced is identical in each "different" type of e-cig - it's only the cosmetics and capacity which changes.

Also worth pointing out that propylene glycol has been used for decades as a vapour enhancer in theatrical haze and fog machines, has been extensively tested for ill-effects and has been judged more than safe enough for acute usage over many years, and that it is routinely vaporised and pumped into hospital atmospheres as a germicide. There are no long-term deleterious health implications for it. Also, although a very small minority of people have a sensitivity to PG, those people find that a Glycerine based e-juice removes any sensitivity symptoms. Their numbers are very few.

On the effect of e-cigs on human health, it is glaringly obvious that, with a health risk profile that is less than one percent of traditional cigarettes, as has been demonstrated in many studies, it would be preferable for someone to use an e-cig rather than burn tobacco and inhale the smoke. This is not rocket science.

Give those a try.

Dare wee ask what sort??

It's more effective to arrange meetings with MEPs at this stage - keep the voter card until we need it.

I don't care what politics they're playing as long as they're opposing the revisions to the directive. However, if everyone in the EU writes to their MEPs and gets as many appointments to meet with them as possible, then we stand a better chance of success in getting this daftness quashed.
