Awesome,I especially liked the translated text at the end of the linked article saying that the President of the EU has told them to come up with a compromise agreement by Dec 16th,or REMOVE ARTICLE 18..
 
Hundred physicians of all medical specialties sign a call for the electronic cigarette to fight against the evils of tobacco.



For Dr. Jean-Michel Klein, president of the National Union of ENT, it was time to respond: "We must stop saying and writing anything on the electronic cigarette ! If we do not know everything about her, we find that patients get better when they vapotent when they smoke. And if this tool allows us to save some of the 73,000 people that tobacco kills in France each year, then it is our duty to get involved. "
Dr. Philippe Presles tobaccologist, author of a method for attempting to quit smoking with the electronic cigarette that looks this week, the belief that we finally take the tool to end tobacco.Without suffering from lack of stress, or anxiety growing.
After a long study on the subject and finding daily on some patients, he measured the qualities and defects vaporette. And the judge definitely more effective than other methods based onnicotine replacement therapy . Dr. Presles goes very far in asserting that "this invention will probably be the one that will save more lives in the twenty-first century, while providing smokers, those hedonists at heart, a new delight to explore." More moderate, the French Office for the Prevention of smoking, which was asked an official report says a consensus that e-cigarettes are far less harmful than cigarettes.
Practitioners begin to hope

Consumers appear first supporters of this new toy invented in 2003 by a Chinese pharmacist Hon Lik name. The craze is global. Explosion in the United States and Europe, exponential growth in France. More than a million French vapotent, equivalent to 7 to 8% of smokers in the country. If half recognizes the use to save money, eight in ten say that their approach is primarily medical, with less worry intoxication.
Doctors initially reluctant due to the fact that vaporette smoke like cigarettes, reproduces gestures and may contain nicotine, are likely to moderate their skepticism. Simply because they find beneficial effects on patients. Those who defend the most are in smoking cessation and lung.According to experts, it would be really reliable since a couple of years, which include distorted the results of some studies of dangerousness made with older models. Reluctance that persist are more related to a position of principle, that of zero because cigarette smoking kills. The e-cigarette is against this assumption, since its use often complements a tobacco consumption."Even if in fact it is undeniable that there are cases of people who stop smoking completely in a few days," says Philippe Presles. While smoking cessation attempts a record of failure by 80% within six months rate, practitioners begin to hope for that this tool could be a new challenge for public health.
Pragmatic hundred doctors signed the call for the electronic cigarette is advised against tobacco estimate that each cigarette that is not burned through the e-cigarette is a gain. Regulatory position of France, which remains quite ambivalent, do not fully comply. On the idea that vaporette could be a gateway to tobacco door youth , for example, Philippe Presles nuance: "For them, it is forbidden that attracts. But the fad wears the electronic cigarette. It could allow half of the 40% who smoke to stop partially or completely tobacco. Should we abandon the deal? "

Even debate on the ban in public places, it imagines to the current government. It would be a precautionary misapplied, according to some doctors. One of the advantages highlighted by users vaporette is it can be used where smoking is prohibited. In the United States, the giants of the tobacco industry, such as British American Tobacco, Lorillard and Reynolds American, have all launched an e-cigarette to great fanfare with this single argument: the free use and enjoyment without the hassle tobacco. And if there is one thing you can not doubt is their great sense of marketing.Electronic Cigarette: Finally the method to stop smoking easily, by Dr. Philippe Presles Versilio Editions, 203 p. € 14.


"The electronic cigarette is the tool we expected"

Properly used, the e-cigarette is the best way to quit smoking according to Dr. Philippe Presles and dangerousness is incommensurate with tobacco.
LE FIGARO MAGAZINE - The vaporette is it really effective to stop smoking?
Dr Philippe PRESLES - last year, when I met a vapoteur, I wonder. Three quarters of them meet me they have stopped using it. A quarter continues to be a mixed-use, and about 2% smoke as well. This is a success story, confirmed by the figures, with 7 million vapoteurs in Europe in recent years. Meanwhile, tobacco sales fall, with less than 8% since the beginning of the year. There is a transfer, it is undeniable.
Then, do not do anything. For example, only the latest models and quality allow smokers to get enough nicotine to their needs. But if the e-cigarette is very effective is because it fills two gaps: the lack physical, nicotine, but also the psychological gap that I think is the most difficult to wean.You can convince with e-cigarette vapoter "just for fun", which is the main motivation of the classic smoking. It is for us, the practitioners, a revolution is sought under the will, the greater the chance of success to go without cigarettes.
Many questions circulating about the dangers of electronic cigarette, what happens?
The simple answer: by switching to electronic cigarettes, you will escape the terrible poisons of tobacco. You will stop increasing your risk of cancer, chronic bronchitis, myocardial ... Then, most products today contain electronic cigarette are commonly used. They are found in foods such as propylene glycol or glycerol, which have the property to keep moisture, especially in the bread.There are impurities that have been getting a lot of them, but are also found in widely used products.
But the long-term effects?
Certainly, we can not measure today. But we must be pragmatic when comparing the relative unknown with the certainty of dying from tobacco in two cases because of the carbon monoxide, tar, and fine particles. None of this in the electronic cigarette. The tobacco industry has understood. She tried to fight against the electronic cigarette, after having tried in vain to invent safe cigarette, and today it is investing in this promising market that will steal significant market share. For the benefit and health of all.
 
Brussels still wants to regulate the electronic cigarette

Advocates "Vapoteuse" mobilize to avoid new restrictions on its marketing in Europe.
Proponents of electronic cigarette rumble and shake. At the heart of their mobilization: the draft European directive on tobacco, Article 18 is dedicated to the e-cigarette. The vote by the European Parliament on October 8 l eur barely gave satisfaction , in particular by maintaining the "Vapoteuse" in the category of consumer goods, not the drug, which would have relegated solely pharmacies. But in the long and complex European legislative process, the next step in progress, which is to develop a compromise between the European Commission, the Council of the European Union and the European Parliament in Strasbourg could reshuffle the cards in the direction Conversely, warned followers of the e-cigarette Tuesday.
In recent days, the players this booming sector expressed their concern, based on a working draft of the legislation they have consulted. This document provides in particular to classify the electronic cigarette as a byproduct of tobacco or drug, removing him the status of consumer product which pro-vapoteuses highly. It also imposes sealed and disposable cartridges, making obsolete the current models that are rechargeable by vials. The maximum amount of nicotine contained in each device would be reduced to 5 mg / ml, considered insufficient to meet the needs of a heavy smoker concentration. Finally, it limits the flavors of e-liquid allowed, currently vary widely, they will taste "tobacco" to "piña colada" through "coffee", to those far less exotic, weaning foods nicotine. All very remote measurements of the text adopted by MEPs.
Discussions between the three institutions have resulted in a step meeting in Brussels on Tuesday morning, which served as a pretext for a call to action on the part of the defenders of the current e-cigarette, including the social network Twitter . Many pro-vapoteuses called to sign a petition that had over 18,000 supporters in the late afternoon.
Some doctors in smoking cessation were also mobilized, recalling the strengths of existing products, which, in their eyes, have proven themselves as smoking cessation tools. "Behind this position of the Council of Ministers, there is a pitch safety that does not hold up so says Dr. Antoine Flahault, public health specialist at the University Paris-Descartes. In cigarettes, which is carcinogenic, the tar and carbon gases released from burning tobacco. In the electronic cigarette, there are only nicotine, which is addictogenic but not carcinogenic. "
"This version of the draft legislation is very worrying, because it would lead to leave the market models developed by the tobacco industry, which does not meet the needs of all consumers," he says. Same analysis on the part of Dr. Philippe Presles , author of a method to quit smoking with the electronic cigarette published this month. "The market of electronic cigarette is a billion dollars, as much as that of nicotine replacement therapy, and 300 times less than that of tobacco.This gives an idea of the forces at play, "he says.
The discussions, however, are not closed and the Presidency of the European Union, occupied until the end of the year Lithuania has set until December 16 to reach a compromise. But at the deadlock looming, an option increasingly discussed in Brussels would be to remove the article 18 of the text to be submitted to final parliamentary vote to save some steps against traditional tobacco by consensus.
