Change in UK Law?

[stayahead]

I know there are other boards that cover the law side of things, but I can't post there yet.

But I heard that a decision about e-cigarettes might be coming in September. Is it possible they can ban the sale of liquid nicotine? If they classify Nicotine as a medicine then surely any product that contains Nicotine would be subject to the same legislation. The irony being that tobacco cigarettes would be a medicine?! Surely this is ridiculous law making!

I can't see that they can ban PV's themselves as it is only a cylinder battery which connects to a heating element, nothing illegal about that? But the nicotine....? What are peoples plans going to be? Stock up before September? Import from overseas?

While vaping hasn't been proven to be "safe" it has to be lots safer than smoking tobacco, and yet the government plans to ban e-cigs while tobacco remains on sale.... where is the logic in this? I know the government are scared of the popularity of PV's because it reduces their tax revenue from tobacco. They are only protecting their own financial interests, not the health of its people! If they ban PV's it is dangerous and irresponsible of the government!

Wow, quick, let me make you a cup of tea,now sit down

I guess you've read the UK Thread? There is a decision coming in September, what it's going to be is still not known. Intellicig are working towards getting an MA in the UK,which if they get it means that brand will be available. Other vendors are working to get an alternative option where E-Cigs etc are in their own class and regulated as such. Or there's the ban which at the moment doesn't include an Import ban so you'll be able to Import in.

Phew,think thats it Another 2/3 posts and you'll be able to post wherever you like

It's just I'm so happy that me and my partner are finally able to quit analogues, and the fear of having this option taken away is quite worrying. If intellicig get a license then it will be possible to get the liquid from there at least.

Will other vendors still be able to sell their own attys, batteries and blank carts?

I'm hoping so, in other countries where the Nicotine liquid is banned but you can import for personal use they still have sellers that sell the hardware(atties,carts etc).

Yeh,it's not a good situation at the moment but it isn't illegal and i'm not adding the word yet

Thanks for the tips.

I'll just make sure we stock up a bit before September!
