I don't like any one company having an upper hand (regardless of the company). I believe governments and authorities have proven to me and shown through history that they appease their greatest perceived opponent to achieve their present goals.
If the authorities think that they can get away with medically regulating e-cigs big T and big P will be happy with licensing and manufacturing them.
Now if the authorities licence only a few distributors and those distributors were chosen from their biggest legal challengers .... you know the old saying "two birds with one stone".
I made a big fuss on UKV when TW tried to tie the e-cig battle to their brand ... My thought is be careful when you empower someone, Just because their the enemy of your enemy .... I still remember the Iron Curtain erected after the second World War!!!!
There are many of us who haven't and won't forget but personally I think we need to deal with the immediate danger and then work out the next step when it comes. It might have sounded like I am ready to get cosy with TW-that is not going to happen but at the moment I'm happy to accept all the help we can get. We all know how dangerous an enemy they can be and you do make very valid points but I'm a natural born optimist and really hope you are wrong!I don't like any one company having an upper hand (regardless of the company).

but surely by pushing the MHRA into admitting that their products can't be considered medicinal devices, they are helping to protect all suppliers (and vapers). No-one would be able to accept that their products fell outside the medicinal classification and then give a monopoly on a non-medicinal product to TW.
No disrespect, but until something is classed as a medical product, it can't be considered as a medical product.
Spin ... making nothing into something ....
