It's official. E cigs to be registered as a medicine in the UK.

I'm sure someone here knows the one who made that video.
Drop him an email and suggest creating a video for the vapers across the pond
in the US.

I'm absolutely positive ...
The FDA, Big Pharma, the Alphabet Groups, as well as all others
who oppose e-smoking ... would just love to see the American version.


How about one for our Australian vapers.
What the heck ...
I'm sure every country around the world would love their own version.

I blogged on this as it is a really interesting question with a lot of implications, and I needed a good subject for my new site's blog...

People here will also be very happy about this as you won't get one of my usual 2,000-word answers. Here is a world Roly first, the answer is:

It makes no difference, John.

Thank you for the reply and the article. It was an interesting read. May your blog go far.

PS, I hope your right.

ECITA: MHRA Cost Analysis of Creating a Medicinal E-Cig – A Tour de Force of Ignorance
MHRA Cost Analysis of Creating a Medicinal E-Cig


Now multiply these cost estimates by the thousands of different and new e-cigarette products sold in the UK.

Looks like this MHRA regulation (if implemented as proposed) could become a job creation bill for laboratories and researchers, but a jobs killer for the vast majority of e-cigarette companies unless they go underground or abroad.

i dont think people vape first then start smoking, most i know are people who have smoked and use e cigs to cutdown or quit!!! you have to be legal age to buy pre-filled carto ecigs. pre filled nic cartos can be brought from some places here- but you cant sell juice with nic at all!!! real .... about face law that one!!! we can import nic for personal use- 3 month supply, whatever that is.. some of us import nic base and mix our own others import ready made.. i reckon whatever happens in the u.k. will happen here, hopefully we will still be able to import nic (i reckon they'll put a stop to it soon) ,if not ready made.. if the u.s. ends up with more laxed regulations who knows what lead n.z. will follow. we are a country of full of sheep, and sheep dont vape -if this get bad, guess i'll have to vape nic free, which they cant ban, or just quit vapeing..... there seem to be real bumb-a**es making laws at the moment based in ignorance and greed..... these happenings at the moment really suck!!!

From the article:


So how's it working in New Zealand? Is this different than what the UK would do? What happens with under-age people....do they just start smoking 1st? Then buy e-cigs later? Do they find a way to get e-cigs? Do they avoid both? Same questions for snus or other tobacco.

While governments do their "saber rattling" routine ...
Thousands of smokers everyday test-drive their first e-cigarette.
