EU Proposes Effective Ban on E-Cigarette Cartridges/Eliquid

Where did you get the Lords from?
One of my MEPs is the head of UKIP and my MP is Education Secretary.

On the same 'write to them' link there's a house of lords link just pick the ones involved with your area

Wrote all in our area last night, including some on the continent

I have access to a list of all EU parliament members. I can't pass it on as it's the property of a non-profit I'm unpaid director of, used to lobby for something completely different.
But I can send a letter to the EU myself, although I'd probably need to set up a mailing list on my web comain to do it.
If I do that I could also send any petition derect to every MEP for all EU countries, although I think there's a concentration of Greek MEPs there.

Getting the emails of every one and sending to them takes a long time. I know, several people worked to get email addresses for every one in a single place so that the same letter could be sent to them all.
There are a lot if you cover every MEP for every district in every EU country.

I have also posted this on The Salty Box http://www.thesaltybox.com/forum/general-chit-chat/128237-introduction-ecigs.html since that thread has proven to be very popular and viewed a few times. Combining their numbers with ours and the other vaping related forums will help, even if just a little bit!

I'm posting on all the main vaping forums but there are so many threads scattered everywhere, everybody follows different ones.
Posted in UKV was a 2010 study on using vaping instead of inhalators to stop smoking and this gives the blood plasma levels.
Unfortunately there is a typo that isn't corrected until table 3, giving blood plasma concentration of nicotine in mg/ml instead of ng/ml.
