Considering the WHO are also on a crusade to classify eliquid as a tobacco product, this kind of paves the way for heavy taxation of it.

Of course the UK government will sympathise but say their hands are tied by the WHO and they can't avoid levying said tax.

The only exceptions to the tobacco tax would be MHRA licensed products that would be in a separate medicinal classification.

Probably just pure coincidence then that big pharma has been caught red handed fairly recently whilst trying to covertly fund elements of the WHO.

Eliquid is tobacco? Therefore grapes and potatoes are alcohol and bleach is an explosive and apples seeds are a highly toxic acid/salt

I read elsewhere that this would be similar to the ink cartridge scam.
