This thing about "bubblegum and chocolate" being aimed at children is yet another smoke screen...the ages of the children that might want bubblegum and chocolate are children way under the age of even thinking about smoking. The children who do think about smoking DON'T have bubblegum and chocolate on their mind because it's just not "cool" enough for them.

This is what people should be looking at "Aspartame", a man made drug which is in every single diet drink, Coca Cola, Pepsi, Robinsons and, countless other thousands out there - some companies are honest and will label it, some call it "sweetner" "succralose" "succrose", again amongst the many names for it...but it was approved by the FDA as being "Safe for Human Consumption", it causes depression, anxiety, panic attacks and has to date killed 180,000 people, yet this stuff is sold to our children every single day!!

Smoke and mirrors, they cannot comprehend that we choose to vape because we know the terrible effects of tobacco cigarettes. I know and most people will know this too, that the tobacco companies aim cigarettes at 11-15 year olds in a bid to "get them young and keep them for life", except that life isn't going to be very long and even if it is, it's going to be filled with smoke related illness. If vendors of e-cigarettes stick to their guns and are stringent in complying with the regulations as they already stand - no selling to under 18's and no selling to people who don't already smoke - then what's the problem? For vapers the target market is for the over 25's because this is a time when someone realises that for years they have been abusing their body and they also cannot afford to smoke.

It's about time the likes of the MHRA, the FDA, WHO and several other bodies got real and started looking at the real problem. Vaping is an alternative method of smoking, and that makes us responsible. The big tobacco look for the young, market to the young because they want to keep them for as long as they can, and that makes them irresponsible, at least with e-cigarettes, whichever way an ex-smoker uses them, they can make a choice of lessening their nicotine level and eventually becoming nicotine dependent free or choose to stay using them.

An argument to have them placed in the medicines cupboard just won't hold up, if they are to be used as a smoking cessation device, which thousands upon thousands of people have already done by reducing their nicotine level, then fine, but to actually state that you have to have them as part of the nicotine replacement therapy regime is crazy, the global success rate of NRT's is less than 7%, and yet when this decision was made, they didn't regulate cigarettes! Why?

We are growing rapidly in numbers by the day, we are, at the last count in the UK, 1.3 million vapers strong, no Government can argue with those numbers, we are organised, we have our convictions, we wouldn't have great forums like this and so many others, Facebook Groups, Twitter pages, VapeFests, Campaigns if we were irresponsible and didn't know what we were doing, so I think that we may have been under-estimated, I urge anyone who vapes, and even those who don't as there are 741 million adults in the EU, to stand up and be counted, join as many campaign groups as possible, sign all the petitions, make your voice count, join forums, get involved in discussions and tell your friends. Every day we should celebrate as we know that every single day another smoker becomes a vaper...We chose not to be in the tobacco industry, the tobacco industry chose to be in the vaping industry, however, the tobacco industry will never be able to gain as much support from all the groups I've just mentioned, because when they speak, they speak about how much profit they forecast in the next quarter, when we speak, we speak about what e-liquids we love, what kits we are using, how we are looking forward to meeting at the VapeFest this month, and how bloody great we feel because we are no longer prisoners in the tobacco high dependency unit!

Ahhhh ok xx will do thank you very much x
