Yea...That's a good article :2cool:

The prohibition of the electronic cigarette is a placebo-like action. Because the policy does not dare to ban the deadly tobacco cigarette, it stops the success of its alternative. This is economically and politically absurd health. The tax revenue (14 billion €) precludes a far greater amount of medical costs (24 billion). A good drug policy works differently than blind activism. The rational evaluation and non-governmental arbitrariness should be the basis for the adoption of comprehensible rules and must make their own decisions, responsible citizens, not replace.

This German Professor Ruhlmann is now another medical experts talking in favour of the e-cig. Thanks God there are (medical) experts as him working for health and public interest by not shutting the doors for a large group of smoking patients and a growing group of e-cig users who managed to stop smoking. It should be a shame if politicians get a chance to get away with their “placebo-solution” by shutting the door for the e-cig in the name of saving the children for a nicotine-addiction, because of some flavours used in e-cigs. With regard to the e-cig (and snus) this last argument is not rational and valid and with the way it is presented it smells as a clever and cheap marketing tool for the purpose of economic interests and big volumes of unnecessary lost (healthy) human living years...

Very well that German e-cig manufacturers and suppliers are now standing shoulder to shoulder and take the right steps. The UK was first, now Germany is following. Hope this will spread over to the whole of Europe. It’s good for trade, fairness within trade, the whole e-cig community and harm reduction in general. Some suppliers will not like it, because self-regulation costs money and makes it necessary to raise their sales prices, or cut their profit. No doubt it will shorten their gained big sales volumes in foreign countries. I prefer to do business with suppliers in the UK with good organised selfregulation and standing shoulder to shoulder in a fair way...
