Unified Industry Position Statement?

freakindahouse — Mon, 06 May 2013 16:54:34 GMT

Hi, all,

We have been working with a number of colleagues outside our membership to put together a unified industry position to present to the MEPs. It is our hope that this may strengthen the case, when the politicos can see that the position of the industry is clarified in this way.

The wording is below, and I really hope that you will find that you too can agree to it, and that you will want to pass it on to any and all of your colleagues, so that as many vendors as possible can send this to their MEPs:

"We believe the following guiding principles should be the basis of any future regulatory framework for electronic cigarettes:

a. Electronic cigarettes shall not carry any claims that they are a smoking cessation aid unless they have authorisation to do so under the relevant legislation.

b. All electronic cigarette products must comply with all relevant EU consumer protection, safety and other relevant legislation; electronic cigarette products that do not make medicinal claims are not medicinal products (nor are they tobacco products); we acknowledge the need for proportionate regulation of the quality and safety of electronic cigarettes that allows them to compete with traditional cigarettes; and the Commission should be asked to consider the need for and if appropriate propose further specific and proportionate legislation.

c. All electronic cigarette products shall carry a health message regarding the addictive nature of nicotine and the sale of electronic cigarettes shall be restricted to adults and/or those over the legal age for smoking.

These principles are supported by [insert names of electronic cigarette suppliers and their trade associations].

We support amendments to the EU revised Tobacco Products Directive guided by these principles."

Ultimately, we hope to get a version circulated as widely as possible, and get everyone to literally 'sign on the line', ready for presentation to all members of ENVI, JURI, IMCO, the Commission, the Council and others. If you would like to be involved in this way, please email me at katherine.devlin@ecita.org.uk. Thank you.

All the best,

Katherine

Helping a Danish friend

cmknight — Thu, 02 May 2013 05:30:18 GMT

My friend's aunt lives in Denmark. She is a Breast Cancer survivor, but she still likes to smoke her pipe every day. My friend would like to get her an e-pipe, however, he is concerned about the availability of e-liquids in Denmark.

Are there any B&M shops in Denmark? Can she order e-liquids, cartridges, and batteries, and import them from other EU countries, and, what is the current legal status of e-liquids with nicotine in Denmark?

Thanks in advance,

Chris
