I got a Draw Tube in the AAEC group buy and I use it with my RSST. It is a very solid mod!  |

ASH Wales wanted e-cigs off the market within 21 days. What is WRONG with these bloody people. ??? Do they not understand? Blow me down with a large Brecon leek. By removing e-cigs from the market you will send MILLIONS back to tobacco. Hardly the work of a group calling themselves "Action on Smoking and Health" The irony is these groups would be out of work if everyone quit the cigs, i'm sure they're on a nice little earner sat on their backsides writing crap.. I don't think anyone could foresee how popular vaping would become and it's scaring a lot of people connected to the tobacco industry in any way. You can expect a lot of negative comments and press from people running scared over the next 12 months. I think this is it in a nutshell. I think the exponential growth of vaping has taken them all by surprise. Sad though that even those who would eliminate smoking completely cannot see the positive side of vaping. In the last 2 or 3 years 1.3 million people in the UK have takenup vaping. Many of them have (like me) completely abandoned cigarettes.I wonder how many smokers have successfully quit tobacco over the same period using the government's massively expensive, taxpayer-subsidised NRT programme? From what I have read NRT has a failure rate of about 90%. It may well turn out that vaping has a 90% success rate! |

Thank you for posting this. Puts it in perspective for me. Having smoked for nearly 40 years (rollups) I tried a disposable. I kept it for use in the car when giving lifts but carried on smoking.....
I wasn't until I saw somebody at work using an Ego-type battery and a clearomiser that I thought ecigs were perhaps worth trying as a serious alternative to tobacco. Right now I've got a Kayfun and a DID on the table, and no intention of going back to tobacco. If the sort of ecigs that the MHRA want were the only ecigs available, then I would certainly still be smoking!

oldsmokey they arent banning anything over 4mg, just anything over that would have to have a medicinal license, which would turn them into something useless. As @ashmal pointed out. Ahh....you mean a medicinal license that would probably involve laboratory animal testing or full scale clinical trials? How many eliquid suppliers can afford that? And how many years would it take?.... in effect legislation would remove these items from public sale (at least in the short/medium term), and thus force vapers to other desperate measures. Let's not play about with semantics - if it ain't available you can't buy it! |

Perhaps we need to pursue this farcical situation from a Human Rights perspective?
If the powers that be have their way (as I understand it) then we shall only be able to vape 4mg.
I am a nicotine addict. I smoked 20-30 rollups for nearly 40 years. I need my nicotine fix to function.
After nearly 40 years of smoking tobacco I discovered an alternative that was intrinsically safer - ecigs.
If the powers that be ban ecigs and eliquid that yields more than 4mg I would have to go back to rollups (and all the known carcinogens they contain) because high-yield tobacco cigarettes will still be available and legal. Higher-yield ecigs/eliquid will not!
My conclusion is therefore that I would be forced to put my health at (wholly unnecessary) risk purely because of government legislation.
Is this not a fundamental and serious infringement of my Human Rights?
Maybe we should all club together and take them to the European Court of Human Rights! After all you can't deport known terrorists, sex traficers etc if they have a cat .... why can't it work for vapers?

I have discovered a wealth of knowledge, support, understanding and good humour - I find this forum to be one of the nicest and most positive communities on the web. It really feels like a community too! It sets a standard of civilized behaviour, helpfulness and co-operation that few other fora can match. When I came here I was wondering if I could stay away from stinkies, what I have learned here from other members has opened up a new and absorbing world of enjoyment for me - and I now know for certain I shall never ever smoke another tobacco cigarette. Thank you AAEC! |
