For those who don't know, the ENVI (Environment, Public Health and Food Safety) committee is the committee responsible for the forthcoming tobacco products directive which, as it currently stands, will outlaw all electronic cigarettes that don't have a medical license.
On Tuesday, May 7th, this committee is to have a workshop (pdf View attachment ecigarette-workshop.pdf ) on electronic cigarettes - and this can be watched live via this link from 12.30pm.
I won't comment on the speakers, except with respect to Prof. Etter, who in my opinion is an excellent advocate for sensible non-medical regulation of electronic cigarettes. I hope he's listened to.
It's a shame that no industry or consumer representatives were invited, though, and I do hope that Dr. Farsolinos latest research on the cardiac effects (or lack thereof) are presented. Not holding my breath, though.
