One thing we at ecigarettedirect have noticed is that we don’t seem to need electronic cigarettes in the same way we used to need cigarettes. I have also seen discussions on forums speculating that it is not just nicotine that causes the addiction in cigarettes. I’m not a scientist, but it did lead me to [...]

Paul Bergen of tobaccoharmreduction.org interviews Katherine Devlin of ECITA. Bio: Before having my children, I spent several years working as a bi-lingual legal secretary for various firms in and out of London. After starting my family, I became a degree tutor, working privately with students. When my brother first told me about electronic cigarettes, I [...]

We have had some great user pictures from Slawo Walok and Gemma Irving with their HALO e-cigarettes:   It seems a bit unfair to keep asking for your pictures without ever sharing our own. As I’ve just returned from my holidays (hence all quiet on the blog front!) here are a couple of holiday snaps [...]

You can also see National Vapers’ Club reaction to the press release here: FDA “Struggles to Maximize its Regulatory Power” over E-cigarettes Or listen to a [...]

The MHRA are supposed to be holding a consultation on what to do with the electronic cigarette. Yet according to a leaked trading standards letter the decision has already been made – before the end of the consultation! The letter, which was sent to us by Kate of Vaper’s Network, states: “The outcome will be [...]
