MHRA: No response to RPC Criticism of E-Cig Ban Procedure
The Medicines and Healthcare Products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) have told us in an email that they have no response to make to withering criticism by the Royal Policy Committee (RPC).
Last month the RPC, which was set up to improve policy making in the UK, strongly criticised the MHRA’s attempt to ban the electronic cigarette in the UK.
Nor did the MHRA have any knowledge of the million dollar trial of the e-cigarette being carried out in New Zealand in association with leading UK hospital Saint Barts. We will be sending them this information shortly.
The MHRA is currently attempting to impose new regulation on e-cigarettes which could lead to a defacto ban. The proposed ban is based on FDA evidence which has been discredited a US court of law.

The proposed ban is based on the idea that ecigs are medicinal by function.
That’s what the NZ study intends to prove.
