There has been many Electronic Cigarette bills come to the table that are trying to ban the all new Electronic Cigarette. Currently there is one in New York. Many people who use Electronic Cigarettes and businesses who sell them are seriously concerned with the bill and the wording in it. They are also concerned with some of the reasoning and reports distributed by the FDA.

In the peoples eyes, some things wrong with the bill include: The bill mentions nothing about Electronic Cigarettes being able to become "defined by law" as a tobacco product. The bill offers no period of compliance for people who are already in the industry. The bill will completely ban the sale of Electronic Cigarettes in New York state forcing people to go to other states.

The FDA, who is the original anti-ecigarette force, has a few main concerns. The people think there are some easy solutions and some major questions to be asked regarding their concerns.

One of their concerns was the Diethylene Glycol Content. The diethylene glycol was found in 1 out of 16 cartridges by a company E.Cig company. In the other 15 cartridges there was not any diethylene glycol content found at all. Also, the content found was a trace amount.

According to our research, there is a simple test that any lab offers to do, ranging from $500-$1500 depending on how many glycols you are testing for. We have personally spoken to labs that claim they have tested the Electronic Cigarette and have yet to discover diethylene glycol in any of them.

Another very interesting fact is that Diethylene glycol is listed as a "non-tobacco" ingredient.

The people are wondering what gives politicians and the FDA the right to use diethylene glycol, an active ingredient in tobacco cigarettes, which is a product that is legally sold, as a reason to condemn Electronic Cigarettes and the ban? Even though it was only found in 1 out of 16 cartridges in Electronic Cigarettes in only a trace amount? The people think that the government would have to ban real cigarettes as well for containing the ingredient just as they are attempting to ban Electronic Cigarettes for it.

"Diethylene Glycol" was used as Philp Morris's differential advantage over their competitors in the early 1900's. They claimed that it was better for your throat and it has been consumed in real cigarettes for almost a hundred years now and it is still in them!

The FDA and politicians are portraying public worry about trace amounts being in Electronic Cigarettes but no concern regarding the substance being openly reported as an ingredient used in Philp Morris cigarettes and used in them since the early 1900's.

This is the same ingredient that the FDA associated with anti-freeze in what some people are calling a "Propganda Campaign" launched against the Electronic Cigarette industry.

According to research, everything the FDA found in Electronic Cigarettes is found in larger amounts in real cigarettes, including diethylene glycol and any tobacco specific carcinogens and impurities.

The rest of the FDA's concerns were regarding nicotine content being as advertised, and tobacco specific impurities. Nicotine content can easily be tested and discovered, instead of banning them, people think that this test could be added as a regulation in the industry.

The tobacco specific impurities is a different story, to acheive the level of detection that the FDA acheived, labs have stated that it could cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to set up these tests. But labs that were researched for this press release stated that they did not see a need to test at the level of detection that the FDA tested at. Some labs questioned it. The amounts the FDA found were trace amounts that were less than the FDA approved nicotine products, as stated on the FDA report.

The Electronic Cigarette, The Law and The User

The Law introduced in the United Kingdom in the Health Act 2006, banned the use of tobacco based cigarettes in public places.

The Act was introduced in response to where tobacco based cigarettes kills over 100,000 people each year in the UK, as lit tobacco produces tar, carcinogens, carbon monoxide and up to 400 other toxic substances.

In Chapter 28 that incorporates the Smoking ban, the definition of smoking is stated as : smoking refers to smoking tobacco or anything which contains tobacco, or smoking any other substance, and smoking includes being in possession of lit tobacco or of anything lit which contains tobacco, or being in possession of any other lit substance in a form in which it could be smoked.

The user of a electronic cigarette device is excluded from this Act as the device contains no tobacco; it is not ignited, and produces no smoke from burning substances.

The electronic cigarette can be used in any location and within any premises that introduced a ban on tobacco based cigarettes with the introduction into Law of the Health Act 2006
