The e-Voke, an e-cigarette produced by British American Tobacco, is now allowed to be marketed for smoking cessation, which means patients can request the device from their GP."<br /><br />The e-Voke is one of those device looks like a cigarette, and comes with sealed replacement cartridges - making the experience very cigarette-like. The EU is looking at banning vapes which use tanks which are refillable with eliquid - eliquid which is mainly made by small companies in the entrepreneurial Wild West that is the vaping industry at this stage.<br /><br />This couldn't possibly be an example of corporatism at work, could it - Big Tobacco working hand in hand with EU bureaucrats to kill off small, independent businesses? I have no idea - but it strikes me that a crusading blogger with a grasp of science and bureaucratic jiggery-pokery might investigate and tell us. Because this story is set to run and run, and reliable information will be hard to come by. Just a thought.<br />Scott Gronmarkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15118026157459333174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2215553202978284468.post-23457595048341145532016-03-11T18:19:29.853+00:002016-03-11T18:19:29.853+00:00Two Daily Mail headlines:
