Some good new maybe ?.
Big T has entered the e-cig game with their new launch.
There is some hope the ban will not be implemented. Big T will make sure.
Its a Cig look alike offered in 2 flavors. No mention of PG or VG no mention off Nic strength. But its from Big T.
So fingers and toes crossed.
Thought I feel in the end everything but the Cig-alikes will be banned.
Cig-alikes will survive because the profit margins are so high.

There seems to be a growing mood in the country to Ban E-cig.
These decisions are being taken by fat corrupt uneducated ministers. Dancing to the drum of BT.


Their view point is why allow e-cig. You want to stop smoking go see a doctor. And the doctor will prescribe a drug which will cure you.

The drug they are promoting is Bupron-XL from Sun, Bupropion Hydrochloride - Bupdep to Zyban | DrugsUpdate India

How do you combat this kind of logic. ?.

You cannot. They already won in my country (Mexico). It won't be de-banned until they can "complete studies that demonstrate it's not HTYH"). Word on the street is that BT & BP bought (again) the new comissioner for the reducction of health risks and that the Revenue Service polled up looking as the possible loss of revenue as vaping products are not specially taxed.

I like to update my threads because things evolve at such a rapid pace.
Since this first post. I now know without a shadow of a doubt. That the enemy is not big t.
Its the Pharma Companies.
At stake is a multi million dollar business in nicotine gum and patches.
E-cig margins nobody makes much.
Same thing sold in a Gum. Or patch huge huge profits.
They are the ones pulling the strings in the corridors of power.
They are the lobby getting things done.
Govt does not look good cosying up to big T. But big Pharma nobody minds.

As if Mexico doesn't have bigger problems than banning e-cigs (drug cartels, political corruption, etc.). Banning e-cigs considering all of those problems is a joke.
