Why are UK Citizens and Residents NOT signing this Petition which is direct to Downing Street. There are only 113 of us who have signed. There are enough UK Vapers to make this number 113,000.
GET IT SIGNED.
Petition to: Quash the upcoming policy to ban electronic cigarettes. | Number10.gov.uk
Despite there being a large notice to go to the petitions at the top of every page of this forum, it just doesn't seem to be having the impact it should for some odd reason.
Just 212 views for this topic alone and a mere 30 for the other one on the No.10 petition, and the sticky at the top of the Campaigning forum for "UK - proposed regulation of e-cigs - petition - Further action...." having a mere 178 views is, well, just pathetic in my opinion. Sorry, I don't mean
any disrespect to anyone on this forum but it is rather disappointing! On the other hand, the "UK Regulation of E-Cigs - Petition" in this forum has had 6,048 views. So where are all the people who could sign the Number10.gov.uk petition?
According to 2 UK suppliers, they each have 350,000 and 100,000 (I think?) customers. How valid those figures are, I don't know, but if it's true then Deewal's estimate of 113,000 potential signatures isn't too overestimated by any means.
I hope I won't be shot or receive an infraction 8-o for saying that there is a lot of highly invaluable info on the proposed UK bans on the UKVapers forum in the forum for "Health and Legal Matters" here:
Health and Legal Matters - UK Vapers, (and with a lot more views as well). There are 15 topics (two of which are very active) about the MHRA's propsal with a total of 694 replies between them all. Maybe it's because the forum is dedicated to the UK rather than being worldwide like most of the others.
Out of all the forums - and with no absolutely no disrespect to ANY of them - the discussions on UKVapers are without doubt, to me at any rate, the most indepth ones I've yet seen on any forum. The digging into every aspect of the ins and outs of it all and coming up with a variety of absolutely excellent strategies and links to documents and sources of info is astounding work on the part of the contributing members there, and are second to none compared to what I personally have seen elsewhere (admittedly, I may well have missed posts elsewhere even though I've tried to search for them). The topics and posts are not only about signing petitions but also about how to deal with letters to the MHRA et al, which is just as important if not more so. There may not be that many members there, but I sincerely applaud the hard work the few who do participate there are putting into it.
I personally think the topics on the UKVapers forum deserve
all UK vapers to at least have a read of all that's being said, even if some of it may sound a bit over our heads - if nothing else, it may help to better inform people on what it's all about and what's going on.
