A call to action: Save vaping!
Hold onto our civil rights!
While the result of the trilogue between the European Commission, the European Parliament and the Council of Ministers, concluded on the 16th of December saved electronic cigarettes from some of the direct threats, it still does contain too many loopholes and poorly elaborated conclusions that may (and most probably will) endanger the future of vaping on national levels as well as on a European level.If something, then the cumbersome conciliations over the past year clearly display that the matter of electronic cigarettes is of as much importance as tobacco products themselves, therefore solving the issue of e-cigarettes on the margin of TPD is far from being sufficient. We will keep fighting until electronic cigarettes are finally to be discussed at the level they deserve, and until a regulation is born that says no to fears rooted in ignorance, and does not bypass scientific evidence nor the real needs of the people using electronic cigarettes.
Our goal is to express the will of the many, who are already vaping, plan to vape, have a loved one who is vaping or someone who simply respects the values of private sphere and personal rights.
Vapers made an adult, responsible and private decision when they chose this young but very effective alternative that made possible for them to leave or ease up a deadly habit that claims hundreds of thousands of lives of EU citizens each and every year. The fact that vaping poses no harm to the vicinity of the vaper makes this hobby a private matter of no public interest, therefore any kind of attempt towards the regulation of electronic cigarettes and related products is interpreted as serious offense against our personal rights and private sphere.
If the European Parliament intends to get involved in the matters of vaping, the rational choice would be support and promotion and not restriction.
The message is simple and clear: hands off of free vaping in the European Union. Read more about it in our manifesto.
Our weapon of choice is the European Citizens' Initiative, a mechanism provided by the EU that allows its concerned citizens to express their common opinion on how the European Parliament should approach certain subjects, in this case: vaping.
