A nicely positive UK newspaper article out today:
http://www.independent.co.uk/life-s...c-cigarettes-a-safer-way-to-puff-6290592.html
Too much comparison and perception of equality with NRTs perhaps, but that's not the journo's fault as this is how they see things. At least we are beginning to see more mention of 'alternatives to' instead of 'quit', which is a good thing.
The brand mentioned, 10-Motives, is a local UK one. Along with E-Lites it is one of the better-marketed brands in the UK, but not well known elsewhere.
There is the obligatory comparison of one e-cig carto to 2,000 cigarettes or whatever it is today. What makes me laugh is that when governments finally have to accept that it's a done deal, and therefore have to tax e-cigs, the tobacco tax put on them might be equivalent to the number of cigarettes they replace. Well - you never know, do you?
So let's not hear the trade moaning when the tax on one carto is the same as 893 cigarettes or whatever it is they say the equivalent is - because it will be entirely the trade's fault when it happens. You and I know that a carto is about 6 cigarettes but if the trade want it taxed as 794 cigarettes, that's up to them.
We'll get ours from China then
