S.O.B .. I've always loved Kiwi-land, I'm going in for a tribal tattoo and moving there. I've got the gut and bald head to make it there too. Now, what's that "All blacks" chant, again?!

All kidding aside, it's nice to finally see a major government stand up and take notice, and then openly state that e-cigs are the healthier alternative.

Thanks for posting this, Rick!

One step forward

Wow! Has the WHO eased up their stance yet?

 

[Vapoor eyes er]

WOWSER nice positive news. Thank you very much Switched.

Awesome news! Did I read somewhere that Australia and Britain have also formally approved these or was I just dreaming? If so ... I can't help but hope that this bodes well for us here too in the near future.

Great news! Having another country move in favor of ecigs is always a good thing. Hopefully creating a snowball affect for the rest of the world to recognize the benefits we already know of.

Its still a long uphill battle as I wouldn't be surprised if the Canadian government is one of the last to accept it, but its definately great to see other parts of the world change their stance on it. One day we'll get there too

try the USA. the land of lobbyists and special interests. i'd be more surprised about the FDA saying they're a much safer alternative to smoking than I would be if they started arresting suppliers as drug dealers.

Thanks its a step in the right direction. Unfortunately in Canada it will probably move about as fast as a landslide on the prairies.

I'd laugh at that one if it weren't so true.

If you follow the links it seems a little fishy. I'm not really sure that this is a legit article, it reads like spam.

Thanks. I didn't want the curmudgeon of the year award so early, however, I believe you are correct. I concur; probably bogus.

Oh no.... you forget the Great Nanny Nation south of you. "What about the children???"

Great news for the Kiwi. Shows that at least one government doesn't have their collective heads so far up their collective butts they need a snorkel to breath.

"Let's ban these e-cigarette things so we can get some extra tax money while the smokers are giving health insurance money and taxes to doctors treating their cancer, heart disease, and other ailments we KNOW are smoking related."
