Twitterbomb coming up soon - help please

[Vapoor eyes er]

Don't post much here as I'm from the other side of the pond but figure this is important. I'm tweeting...are you?

Please help EU vapers protesting about a total ban on ecigs in the EU being currently negotiated. You may never have used Twitter before, but it is a powerful community advocacy tool as many journalists, commentators and representatives use it. If you don't have an account yet then now is the time: please sign up. Here are instructions for Twitter, and on what to do today to help out.

Out of interest, what *is* the current situation ? I contacted both my MP and my MEPs last month when the news of the 'secret' proposals came out, but I believe the deadline for the debate on that topic was over a week ago. Since then I've seen no news on here - nor can I find any on the Net - on what the outcome was of that debate. The only news on legislation appears to be the decision of a French court to label e-cigs as tobacco products, in terms of someone complaining about restraint of trade.

I think if you're going to issue calls to action, can you please enlighten us to what exactly the urgency is ? It would be nice if - and this isn't aimed at you - follow-up posts are made by campaigners saying what the next move is, and so on, rather than purely calls to action.

Thanks !
