Hungarian vapers need your help!!!

[wwenigma]

Hello!

There are some bad news from Europe/Hungary. A few days ago hungarian customs seized a wholesaler eliquid stock without legal authorization. In Hungary, there is NO law against nic eliquids. Inside man in NAV (hungarian customs office) says, they were instructed to ban nic eliquids and from 2013.01.01 they want to ban ecig like normal cigarette. (not enable to use in pubs, job place, community places, bus stations, hospitals open areas, etc) We start an online petiton against this, please sign it to support us. In addition, we try to reach newspapers, TV/radio stations, or start demonstrations against this... In hungary, one box of cigarette is 800HUF ($3.60) and same liquid for one day is 150HUF ($0.70). (it seems to be cheap but the minimal wage is $2.50....) The cigarette tax content is ~75% so thats why they start this ........ it will be a permanent ban or we get same prices like south african vapers (20$/10ml) and only available in pharmacy...

Please support us with your sign.

Thank you,
Sandor.

I think this thread should be in another sub-forum, legislation news perhaps. Maybe a mod could do us a small favor?

 

[wwenigma]

Yep, i have no permission to post in other forum.

I signed it, and hope everyone else does. It only takes a few seconds.

signed. I would prefer that this thread remain on the New Members forum to allow for more views. Placing it in another subforum will cause it to become lost.

2012.11.29 - another attack, now 96 customs officer seized 30000$ stock from sellers. Still NO LAW AGAINST ECIG IN HUNGARY! NAV (hungarian customs office) say, nicotine is a medicine and if sell you brake drug enforcement rules!

 

[Ryedan]

Signed. Almost 2,700 signatures now.

You've just got a signature from neighboring Serbia

Hope it helps. I'm getting scared, though, that our customs and legislation authorities might follow your example and I'd have to get my e-juice from "black market" - blah!

 

[wwenigma]

Thanks all who support us. Petition sent.

1 more month then after Jul. 01, in hungary, all liquid what contain nicotine will be classified as medicine.
Today the parliament accepted a law, then the Pharmaceutical and Medical Instituite will be an investigating authority! He got right of perquisition without the owner's consent.

I think we lost that fight against tobacco and medicine lobby in Hungary.

I'm so sorry to hear that wwenigma. It's a damn shame that the governments will not just back off and leave us the hell alone!!! We aren't hurting anyone including ourselves.

there is no reason other than monetary for e-liquid to be banned. and its sad that every govt claims health reasons. there are so many products that are unhealthy that are sold every day, so its not a health thing at all. these are purely money-grabs
