Totally Wicked e-liquid - UK
14 hours ago
This message has been sent to all our forum members........Let us have your comments and thoughts please. Also please share, even non vapers need to know about the erosion of our basic rights to make adult decisions on how we choose to live our lives.
UK and European customers will be aware that here in Europe we are threatened with e-cig legislation from two fronts. Coming at us from the home s...ide is the MHRA, a government medicines regulation agency that want to turn e-cigs into a medicine. Then from mainland Europe we have the EU commission that also want to medicalise e-cigs, but might allow 4mg/ml, or 0.4% nicotine, in their endorsed Nicotine Containing Products (NCP) available as an over the counter product. To put this in perspective, this amount of nicotine gives a plasma level similar to ingesting a dozen aubergines! (That’s eggplants for our US folk.)
We have an idea that the EU legislation may take a while to get sorted, but if the MHRA get their way, e-cigs could be cleared off the shelves in 21 days from the date of decision.
And a decision is pending from them anytime soon
We have to stop this, as it will be the end of e-cigs as we know them, and for many it will mean a return to tobacco cigarettes.
Don’t let them take away your freedom of choice!
We are way beyond the old paradigm of ‘quit or die’; we are in a new era of freedom and choice with electronic cigarettes.
We are urging every one of you to write to your MP and ask them to oppose these legislations.
We have set out a new board on the forum called CALL TO ACTION (original it isn’t, but it captures what we need), please go there now – all the information you’ll need to write cracking letters, to the right people, that will make the regulators sit up and take note is there.
Please go there now.
