The UK Cabinet office "Nudge Unit" encourages eCigs to help smokers stop smoking.

Nice find Uma,

It seems the more we say it helps us STOP SMOKING the more attention it gets. I know when I saw it the claim was to be an alterative to smoking thus being not deemed as a drug to help you stop smoking. I guess we cannot deny a lot of us have quit smoking so it probably is not to far from our worst nightmares that the FDA and the Goverment steps in and starts to regulate it.

Thats a kewl atricle.  Of course you'll never see the US government say something like that. Sad thing is, well all know, eventually our goverenment is going to get thier cut, the question is, how long will this take.  I say 2-3 years

It is pretty "coincidental" isn't it... between the Vote NO!  on that disguised bill and the UK's Nudge Unit conclusions.  I just hope they don't charge 2-4 bucks tax per tiny cart ... imagine what a bottle of juice would be if that goes through.  (U.S. wants to tax ecigs like cigarettes and double the tax plus raise it every year).  Scarey and heartbreaking and downright stupid.  While we can wholeheartedly jump for joy with this UK article, we must be on guard at all times for hidden clauses within every bill taken to congress.
