Voting on the TPD article 18 - 26/2/14, approved by MEPs 478-130

So there are a number of countries listed on the votewatch rundown that really ought to do the walk of shame - either their politicians are ALL beyond reason and would not support ecigs with the right bit of lobbying, contacting, sharing stories. Or people just didn't try to do any of the above.

http://www.vapourfaces.eu/index.php/en/

GIVE A FACE TO VAPING - YOUR FACE!

We are vapers! We are not Astroturfs!

We are neighbors, family members, friends and we are convinced that vaping is our healthier alternative choice than smoking.

And we enjoy it!

We ourselves decide about the future of our health, it is our mostly personal asset!

We are responsible (European) citizens who eminently accept general conditions but refuse any kind of paternalism!

With this action, we want to express toward the European Union, the ministers of the European Parlament and to all those, who have the opinion they can decide and create regulations over our heads and our willing without prior consultation, that we are not willing to accept it in this form.

You also can participate and support this action with your picture.

The initiators of this site will be glad of your image and if you help to us to spread this action, we possibly may demonstrate that we are not only names but there is a face, a person behind each one.
