Our government actually Tried to ban them in June 2010 as they weren't happy that unlicensed nicotine was being sold over the counter, this decision was postponed until June 2013 so watch this space. Nearer the truth is probably the fact that they are losing revenue due to the fall in sales of the real poison that they are quite happy to peddle and aren't receiving any revenue from the safer alternative YET !!!Originally Posted by Swanny
