to me it seems there are too little campaigners to make a change - too little seem to care about this - the camps are obvious - polititrics with their lobbyist supported by big tobacco but there is almost no push pack from the public - I honestly wonder why
thinking about it briefly - majority of people I talk to who vape are uninformed, unaware of this change or on their way out of "smoking" so it may not affect them ...
I did my part when the US was about to drive SOPA and PIPA through congress and if you compare the involvement of others this clearly shows the difference ... when websites like wikipedia, google etc shut down their services and had notifications all over them people started to see the issue and started thinking about it ... I have just visited the most frequented 20 shops in my bookmark list and not a single one of them seems to care about this or the need to inform their visitors about these facts ...
even on the Totally Wicked shop/website you need to take a very close look to see that there was something they tried to fight in the european courts ... ridiculous ...
just imagine a day where every UK online store greets you with information about the TPD - imposing threats to vaping as we know it and no option to purchase anything - links how to write to your MP etc - people will start to get informed and most likely start to act ... but with this amount of floating information - I strongly doubt it - the shops not fighting it or informing the consumer is accepting defeat without even trying ...
makes you wonder if its about making the world a better place or keeping the eye on making profits - but assuming its the latter it proves the point that the money is on one camp with a million people against it ...
