Hi, all,
Sorry not to have kept in touch, or even updated the blog here, but it's been a pretty mad week! We have been locked away in the cellar, preparing for next week's meeting at the European Parliament, but some rather interesting legal research has uncovered some new indications that we are definitely on a winning ticket as vapers.
There are several new posts, including our rather snazzy booklet, all of which are available from our website as well as on the blog.
So if you're interested in knowing what is happening with the regulations, the legal position, or just want to catch up on the latest gossip surrounding the Tobacco Products Directive, please do have a look at these posts:

http://planetofthevapes.co.uk/blog/648/ecita-position-statement-for-european-parliament/
http://planetofthevapes.co.uk/blog/...ive-concerning-electronic-cigarette-products/
Rather than make you wade your way through all of the above, I will just cut to the chase and let you know that, according to various case precedents, and a particularly impressive and insightful Counsel Opinion from the Advocate General (from 2005), it would be illegal for governments to reclassify electronic cigarettes as medicines.
I hope this news will help everyone to have a good, relaxed and happy vaping weekend, and we shall update you once we've been to the European Parliament next week.
Cheers,
Katherine
