NEW Petition against the limitations imposed on the EU Directive on nicotine e-liquid

[Coiso]

Project for us vapers to support
- Interessengemeinschaft E-Dampfen

Even though i don't understand german here's a link to the petition translations in 9 languages including english:
Petition - Interessengemeinschaft E-Dampfen

And last but not least the most important, the petition:
http://www.change.org/en-GB/petitions/e-zigarette-in-gefahr

I ask all of you to sign it, it's the least we can do now since that if this directive is to be accepted vaping as we now it will be over. This one is not the old petition about e-cig banning but a new one, seems to me more organized, against this latest directive proposal, and the nicotine level in e-liquids limitation. Lets hope we can help and do something signing the petition to change this.

Thank you all

Already signed it! x

P.S. This petition would be very helpfully supported by a letter to your local Member of Parliament and Member of the European Parliament detailing exactly how e-cigs have helped you and why putting limits on it would be a bad idea! I saw a video thing about this a while ago, when the ban was first suggested and the guy on there said to NOT use templates as they just put them in a pile and recognise it as a sort of petition, thus assuming it to be one complaint. The more variation, the more they have to take note!

In short, WRITE TO YOUR MEP too!!! (please!)x

As I am a member of the IG-ED (- Interessengemeinschaft E-Dampfen), a non-profit, independent consumer association of German-speaking vapers, who initiated this petition:

May I ask everyone to sign? It's directly referring to the proposal (dated Dec. 19, 2012) for the EU tobacco directive. And it seems it's one of the most successfull so far in terms of signees, counting about 16,800 right now. Which is still much too few on the other hand of course. But we have already signs that members of the European Parliament took notice.

Link to the page with the petition text in many differerent languages: Petition - Interessengemeinschaft E-Dampfen

Every European vaper should sign this so that we can prevent the EU from sentencing us to death by smoking tobacco again.

Thank you!

Unterzeichnet! Thank you, Michael.
This mess is outrageous and we should all fight against it with everything we have at our disposal.
Keep up the good work!

 

[Duck]

Danke ECBuggie.

As another important step we wrote an Open Letter to all members of the EU Parliament who are involved in the ENVI commitee due to the "expert" hearing on Feb. 25.

You may read it in English language here:
Statement of the IG-ED for the public expert hearing of the Tobacco Directive on February 25, 2013 - Interessengemeinschaft E-Dampfen

It is hard to escape the impression that the pharmaceutical industry
was significantly involved in the proposal.

 

[Coiso]

Yes it's very hard to escape that impression.......

 

[Duck]

Did I say something unintentional funny?

As support for the petition we (the IG-ED) created a flyer in a few languages for everyone to print out and to pass it on - to shops, friends, collegues etc.:

Would be nice if you would make use of it. Thank you!

One of the points made below this line
"Let us start with an abstract of the statements arising from the
following detailed submissions to clearly emphasize the key aspects:"

"It is hard to escape the impression that the pharmaceutical industry
was significantly involved in the proposal."

Ah well ok, I made no difference between my post and the text in the link. The "open letter" too was not translated by a native English speaker, so I am always alerted if there might be a wrong or funny expression.

 

[Petrodus]

Understood ...
Language separates us ... but e-cigarettes brings us together

Not the case. I think all vapers have that same impression so that's the reason of all the winking and tongues.

I must say very very well stated.

Together with us 20,000 active e-vapers want the e-cigarette to be accepted as a general "indulgence" good in the EU.
Sincere thanks are given to you, the 20,000 signees.
We feel certain to reach the next objective of 25,000 votes soon.
