Since the application of European directive on tobacco we were obviously waiting for a reaction from AIDUCE, it is now done with this press release that we are offering.
"So here they are promulgated, these villainous laws which were to fall on the vaping, its actors and its consumers, and will have been cut to reserve its market so much to the tobacco manufacturers and their products" compatible TPD "(by striking constraints expensive and complex to the smallest manufacturers of banana liquids) than to large laboratories which will be able to see the sales of their medical patches and vaporizers flourish again, since it will now be enough for vaporizers to be recognized as drugs for them to stop to be “vaping products”, that they suddenly adorn themselves with virtues, and that all these regulatory constraints dissipate like an aerosol in the wind! At least the provisions concocted in the secrecy of the alcoves of the Ministry will have provided them with a means of preserving their trade.
No, all this is unfortunately neither new nor surprising, since these provisions were already included in the law of health of Madame Touraine and in the famous European TPD of 2014. However, as Laurent Joffrin aptly pointed out Friday morning in an enlightened editorial, every day that passes, the gap between the regulatory measures taken and the knowledge of the important role played by the vape in the fight against smoking is more striking. and ridiculous. Consider the conclusions of the summit of the vape, held only 11 days ago, and at the end of which actors, consumer associations, doctors and specialists in the fight against addictions once again confirmed the tremendous potential of this device as a tool for reducing risks related to smoking, while new studies show if it was still necessary that vaping was not a gateway to tobacco but an effective way out! To what stupid and morbid flight forward are those who, claiming to want to stop the scourge of tobacco, devote so much effort to limiting the effectiveness of the most promising weapon in their arsenal? By what aberration did they mix poison and antidote in the same law?
It does not belong to the Aiduce, consumer association, to pronounce first on the administrative and economic nightmare that comes down today on these manufacturers and distributors who had the audacity to believe that a solution was conceivable in 
outside the multinational circuit. Just a little closer this day when we will unnecessarily multiply the flasks, pay the depreciation of the "registration fees" that will hit each product, we will be content with what we will offer those who have managed to survive this economic shock , crying these liquids that foreign manufacturers will no longer be interested in distributing in France, and we slip into our favorite shops having the impression of entering a sex shop under the reproachful eye of hygienist morality ... In the meantime that new, even more restrictive, restrictions are falling, while new threatening clouds are once again forming on the side of the European Commission.
We are not much more advanced today than we were last winter on the ban on vaping in certain public places, the decrees of application not yet published. But there is one thing that has taken effect that day and that we are not more willing to admit, is the blind prohibition to promote, to engage in "direct or indirect propaganda" - although this term means - a device that has allowed so many of us to get rid of the pleasure of a mortifying habit. Is it now forbidden to suggest an electronic cigarette to a smoker wishing to stop? To report studies on its lack of toxicity? To prescribe it? To offer it? Are these prohibitions only for advertising for commercial purposes? These questions are now abandoned at the discretion of judges and will be clarified with the emergence of an uncontrollable case law from which it will now spring the best or the worst.
But in any case, the Aiduce does not intend to change his speech or submit to the dictate of an authorized thought. We will still not perceive any penny on the sale of anything. But we are a representation and an emanation of all these vapers who want to make their voices heard, and we will continue to defend their rights, to denounce the collusions and the spectacular decisions ripened far from the realities, and to bring their message to the authorities or the authorities. more doctors and scientists every day to share our analyzes, regardless of any ban. Expressing what we believe in remains one of our most basic human rights and we have no intention of withdrawing from it other than giving up support for access to the vape for those who need it.
