The Medicines and Heathcare products Regulatory Agency in the UK is conducting a consultation on e-cigarettes. This appears to be simply a ban which will start in July (we think).

The consultation document and response form is here: http://www.mhra.gov.uk/Publications/...MLXs/CON065617

Please let them know what you think. They have to answer each submission, we believe, so this isn't simply a force of numbers need, we have to get them to think realistically and pragmatically about answers to the problems of regulation.

The reason they're doing this is because the Trading Standards people don't want to enforce existing consumer protection laws on recreational nicotine products. Laws exist to cover regulation already but this nicotine ban is to allow the MHRA to be enforcers instead and that means very strict, medicinal level regulation. The recreational nicotine market will be closed and only tobacco or NRT allowed.

One argument that they use to ban is the FDA report on SE and nJoy cartridges.
