Good. When I tried this earlier in the year I was not allowed to set up the petition and referred to the Department of Health. The fact that they are now allowing this suggests an increasing tolerance to the concept.

Signed.

Thanks for letting us know about it Robson

Hi All - just signed the petition online - including me there are only 12 people who have signed up - we need to get the UK suppliers to put this on their websites to promote it better. Anyone got any ideas how?

Its really odd. The 'just ban it' culture we live in. Cigarettes hurt those around you with second hand smoke. However, e-smoke is what? A public nuisance? Western culture has lost so many of the freedoms it once enjoyed under the guise of protection.

 

[BadSeed]

Signed. Come on people, we need more signatures!

You must be a British citizen or resident to sign the petition

Sorry, I don't qualify else I would for sure help.

 

[Chrissie]

Sorry Katink that you & other non UK residents can't sign the petition But I'm sure that some of the other hundred or so viewers of this can.

Come on everyone, this important.

 

[exogenesis]

Signed.

Shame there isn't a box for extra comments/reasons like the USA petition.
Probably wouldn't get read anyway.

Still, the petition as a whole might do some small good, even if it's
just to raise the awareness.

Excellent! This is bound to help.

At present we are not in the predicament that some of our fellow vapers around the world find themselves in - but this doesn't mean that problems won't occur. Signing this petition puts our opinion on the record NOW - let's do it before trouble starts!

 

[robson]

That's great Smokester this most definitely raise the amount of signatures.

 

[strayling]

Signed. I may be an ex-pat but I still care what goes on at home.

I've put a link to this in my eBay group "All about e-cigarettes" & some of the members have already signed

Im just glad to live in the UK and not in the US.quoting from the website it says that:

"electronic cigarettes are helping thousands of people across the UK to stop smoking or cut down. there is no evidence to suggest that there is a danger of passive smoking as no smoke is produced. The vapor does not leave a smell of any kind. Also, electronic cigarettes may help reduce the number of closures of pubs and bars around the country."

i think this is very significant comming from the PM office website.maybe SJ should make this thread sticky.
