Nicotine, of course, is also used in medicines. 3) Tobacco lobbyists, who work solely for the tobacco manufacturers, have enormous financial clout and do the dirty and under the counter deals with MPs E-cigarettes would empty 30% of hospital beds, constantly filled with tobacco connected health problems.

The way the MHRA have handled the consultation process is a disgrace and is bound to be challenged, but that in itself would only lead to a temporary solution. We are committed to working with whoever it takes to getting this approved but the MHRA has not proved easy to work with! Tony, I suspect this may well end up challenged legally.

The MHRA proposal is nothing more than a thinly disguised attempt to eliminate the competition for one of it`s big paymasters, Johnson & Johnson.

However, this is one of the reasons that similar moves by the FDA have been thrown out. There is also the possibility that caffeine would then have to be regulated as a medicine!

We would file suit claiming that if ecigs are banned,then All cigarettes should also be banned.If howether the judge rules that ecigs are much safer than regular cigarettes,(1400 times less harmful than Marlboro),then maybe the next law suit would be to ban regular tobacco,see how the big Tobacco giants will react to that!!
