e-cig NOT! and Europe NOT?

[vapegeezer]

Well here goes for what I feel should be the start of a movement...

Let's lobby the house of commons! Organise a rally and meet on the Green! ( with the proper authority of course)

Let's not name the burning sticks ever again on the Planet!

First reasoning...

Title says it, with reference to the Lords Grand Committee...

Vaping and the TPD discussed in the Lords Grand Committee 10/05/16
www.youtube.com/watch?v=aQckjBjxCls

It is quite clear to anyone of sound mind...
The discussion in the chambers of the lord's Grand Committee. Had a number of the Lord's placing particular emphasis on the fact that Vaping has nothing to do with tobacco whatsoever, but yet, it has still been included in the TPD.

This to me, is completely absurd and beggars belief.

Now, as an ordinary man in the street, with a 25+ a day habit trying to save my health and switch to vaping. I feel absolutely enraged by this and feel let down immensely by the British Government and bureaucratic masters in Brussels.

I feel we need to lobby. If only to just to have Vaping removed from the directive all together.

The thought of all those companies lobbying the officials in europe with a huge pot of resources behind them is very scarey... I mean to say, what chance do we have? What can we do about it? Is this reason alone for an out vote?

Now wait a mo... I am not about to start a full-scale debate on here about that last sentence! So don't even bother...

No, I would like to hear the thoughts of folks with regard to the Vaping debate.
Do we want to see if we can get on the 6 o'clock news protesting on the green?

Thoughts please...

Oh and one other thing, why is the title of the Forum called ecig discussions...

I think you would benefit from catching up on the many discussions here and on other forums and Twitter and numerous blogs to see how much everyone has been doing and continues to do to preserve and promote and de-regulate vaping.

think your a bit late to the party. weve been doing this for the past year https://www.planetofthevapes.co.uk/forums/search/832890/?q=tpd&o=relevance&c[node]=63

and its called e cig discussion as its for general discussion of electronic cigarettes and related topics.

 

[vapegeezer]

Yes aware there's a lot going on but, I never said anything about deregulating...

In my opinion I think regulation is vital! But to what extent is the question?

Pure clean vaping. With tested, categorized, and trusted chemicals. Along with safe to use hardware...

 

[vapegeezer]

Late to the party!!! It's never too late.

And... why are there discussions about e CIGARETTES when there is no comparison between tobacco and Vaping, according to the Lords...

They are two completely different things.

Whilst I applaud your indignation and don't want to piss on your chips, I would suggest you take a little time to read the forum and see what topics have been posted on this subject before steaming in with 'news'. We have a lot of members who are very active on the advocacy front, and even whole sections devoted to 'campaigns and social awareness'. Should make you feel a whole lot better!

And welcome, by the way!

The last post under that link was months ago... Lets keep it to the fore of the party front...

There's been lots of discussion about the upcoming referendum too, it got a bit heated and I got a bit carried away but we are still all friends (I hope!) So feel free to join in those threads too if you wish. To be honest I feel like we've all said our bits and I think we are all pretty fixed on how we will be voting, so I've kind of given up talking about it.



...... but welcome to the forum, and vote out
