Let’s remind ourselves what rests on the outcome:
- Less innovation in a demanding consumer market
- Fewer suppliers in the marketplace
- A reduced product range for consumers
- Increased product costs due to over-regulation
- Electronic cigarettes will become less available than conventional tobacco cigarettes and other tobacco products
- A significant number of existing electronic cigarette users will return to smoking conventional tobacco products
- A number of future and existing tobacco cigarette smokers will not have a readily available, attractive e-cigarette alternative

Thursday
The big one as the Totally Wicked legal challenge of Article 20 is being heard. How the UK government proceed with vaping legislation will be directly effected by the outcome of today. We will be sharing all the news as it breaks and endeavouring to obtain comment from as many vapers, public health experts and experts as possible.
