It would be OK,, IF, and that's a fuckin big 'if' , they provided some sort of leaflet with info on upgrading kit. That probably won't happen anyway, but once the TPD is out in place, part of that would effectively bann any leaflets of that type ! It's like the blind leadin the fuckin blind.

Crafty ol' BAT !!! As a prescribed medical product these will NOT be subject to the limitations of the TPD !!

Article 20
1 E-cigarettes may be sold as licensed medical products, in which case they are not subject to the limitations imposed by the TPD.

Hmmm?!! so, in effect, e-voke e-cigs will be able to contain any old crap, at any old nicotine strength and be in any old packaging. Oh, and it will be OK if they leak!!

Please someone correct me if I'm mistaken, but this product is NOT an e-cig.

There is no heating involved and it produces an unheated mist, not actual vapour.

The fact that the BBC (yet again) is misleading the public by labeling it an e-cig isn't surprising... they've been out to muddy the waters from the get-go, but it is disheartening.

I can visualise the scenario... smoker goes to GP wanting to quit, gets fobbed off with this 'nicorette quickmist in disguise', tries it, finds out it doesn't simulate the smoking experience (like vaping does) and thinks 'screw this, these e-cigs are crap, I'll carry on smoking'.... and falls neatly back into the quit or die money go round, right where the government, big tobacco, big pharma and the ANTZ wants them.

/\. /\ This

BAT themselves refer to the e-Voke as an 'innovative nicotine inhaler' and NOT an ecigarette. They have however added the 'e-' to the original Voke seen here.

Can't see it being much different
