I am of disappoint.

Still no volunteers to represent ECF on the ECCA UK steering committee. With ECF being such a huge forum I thought this would be the first forum to appoint a rep. As it turns out it is the last.

I'm not sure why more people haven't got involved with this. Not just the committee but with commenting and talking on ECCA threads. As I understand it vaping got an 18 month reprieve. That means both sides of the argument have 18 months to come up with something. Seeing as vaping is the one thing that unites everyone on this and all the other forums I expected a larger number of willing participants.

I have now been vaping for 2 weeks and 2 days. I wasn't around for any warnings on the Canada situation but wonder was there a similar wave of apathy then? I really think a lot of UK vapers probably feel as passionate about vaping as I do, some probably more. There must be people who have invested huge amounts of time and money in their vaping habit. All we need is a few of those people to get involved and help protect our right to vape.

Otherwise who knows where vaping in the UK will end up.

Lee, Canadians were every bit as apathetic as the UK people are. Look what happened to them.

You can jump up and down and scream as much as you like but getting laws or regulations or policies reversed is far more difficult than stopping them in the first place.

In my experience 4,999 people in 5,000 are lazy, apathetic, and figure it's someone else's job to do it (whatever it is). They are quick enough to whinge later when things go wrong, though. Only one person in 5,000 steps up to the plate - so we need a lot more people.

At the end of 2012 the MHRA will likely mount a legal assault unless they have previously been forcefully told by their bosses to drop it. Unless you've got £100k to burn in court then, you can say goodbye to your e-cigs - unless the problem gets fixed before then.
 
Hopefully we can do something before then and start getting more people involved. We have a good thing going and I for one don't want to let it end without putting up a fight.
