"
An arbitrary nicotine density limit of 30mg/ml. This falls in the upper-middle of the range of products available on the market today, and would tend to rule out liquids that appeal to the heaviest nicotine users. That would be counterproductive and discriminatory.
Why make it more difficult to access the liquids that give a nicotine hit more comparable to cigarettes and therefore are attractive to the heavier smokers – and hence those more at risk from smoking related disease. It would create an arbitrary and discriminatory dividing line
through the market, with no justification whatsoever."
And a lot of 'new converts'.
3. Collaborate and sabotage. More cynically, and with the aid of collaborators from Parliament, they could propose further changes to AM170 make it so restrictive that it becomes de facto medicines regulation – simply by adding further restrictions which make the legislation unworkable and mean that applying for a medicine license is the only way to operate a business. Those tactics are poor politics and policy. They don’t address why the proposal for medicines regulation failed to convince the parliament. But they create the danger of a rejection by the European Parliament, which will likely object to having its views sidelined in this way, or subsequent legal challenges.
As a born cynic, I'm expecting the EU to come back with an "oops, sorry, did we say 30mg/mil?, what we meant was 3mg/mil"
It would not be the first time the MEPs have made a 'monumental gaff'
I mean, what kind of clown would 'suggest' a 'compromise' on already long established legal and un licensed limits on nicotine purchase within a 'domestic market' ??
