I've been meaning to start this for a while - a thread where we can collate news, politics, science etc. on ecigs and vaping.
Here are stories I've spotted this week ...
Totaly Wicked have won leave to appeal article 20 of the EU Tobacco Products Directive in the European Court of Justice. This is very exciting news and is probably our best hope for the future of vaping in Europe. TW are asking for supporting signatures here. If you've missed what the TPD will do when it comes in next year, read the OP here (don't bother trying to sign the citizen's initiative on that post though - it failed to get enough sigs in time 
)
EFVI (European Free Vapers Initiative) have set up a thing called MOVE (Medical Organisations supporting Vaping and Electronic cigarettes). It's a generally useful media statement to combat the dreadful propaganda on ecigs. They are asking for all pro-vaping HCP's to sign in support and have lots of good names already. You can support by signing yourself if you work in health (any HCP can sign, you don't need to be a doctor), passing it on to any HCPs you know or by signing up to the Thunderclap if you're on Twitter, FB or Tumblr (ends Feb 19th).
WHO have released some truly dreadful 'guidance' on ecigs here.
CRUK have released a very sensible blog post. They have been extremely negative about ecigs in the past so it's great news that their position is shifting.
Clive Bates has produced an excellent Briefing Document on the science and policy of ecigs and vaping. It's designed for policy makers but is an easy and very informative read for everyone and deserves to be shared far and wide.
