Linda now says 'e-cigs are not medicines...'

No, because that addition to the TPD would only affect manufacturers and sellers who were trying to promote products across borders, and facebook and twitter want to keep people using them not drive them away for no reason. There are far more damaging and worrying things in the proposed revisions to the TPD than stopping UK vendors advertising in Germany or what have you.

I understand where you're coming from but as I've already said, sometimes, it's not the letter of the law that counts, it's the implied threat of liability.

Which is why a fair few companies are introducing vaping bans without arming themselves with information.

Imho, if companies like facebook or twitter thought they might be at risk of legal action/financial penalty, their first instinct would be to ban vaping references.

Don't think it can't happen.. don't think it won't.. when it comes to financial implications a lot of parties will just go for the option that best protects their financial interests... as we have already seen just by looking at the contents of the TPD.

Well, ebay currently ban anything marketed as ecigs, but allow eshisha, even though nic isn't sold with ecigs, so they don't differ from the eshisha
