So Electro Cigarettes thought it would only be a year or two more until the major tobacco companies would try and jump on the electronic cigarette bandwagon…

whether they simply introduced their own brand of an electronic cigarette or simply invented a new one. Electronic cigarettes are cheaper and healthier, of course the smoking ban also does not relate to them, as such the major tobacco companies were always going to want to cash in on this, let’s face it they have the money after killing people with their products over the last 60 years! The British American Tobacco company have recently bought the rights to sell apparently the very first safe cigarette (no it’s not an electronic cigarette!), apparently independents such as Electro Cigarettes do not offer such a device!?

Apparently the new safe cigarette is not an electronic cigarette nor is it a traditional cigarette but a kind of fusion between the two. By all accounts it will be a healthier alternative to tobacco but will be more satisfying than an electronic cigarette! Unfortunately for them the electronic cigarette continues to be developed and lets be honest between us major electronic cigarette brands we have more experience and financial muscle than even the big players like them.  Reinventing wheel could not be insane.

David O’Reilly, a spokesman for BAT, said “There is political support for this. In our view, an electronic cigarette do not work. People should be able to use nicotine, but in the safest possible way.” Comments like this show that they are either scared of us or are trying to again use propaganda in an industry made up entirely of independents!

“People should be able to use nicotine, but in the safest possible way.”…. Again comments like this coming from a company responsible for selling cancer merged with one of the most addictive substances known to man! NOW they are selling we have a right to safe nicotine use, they really don’t seem to realise that EVERYONE knows that they are doing this because the electronic cigarette is something they could make a lot of money from!

These comments are purely a desperate attempt to make it look like they care, the real facts are that they do indeed want a piece of the pie and see that cigarettes are now a thing of the past and that the electronic cigarette is a thing of the future, they want to be part of the future by jumping onto an industry that has worked hard at development and customer awareness, this makes us sick at Electro Cigarettes and we’re sure you can understand why. None of the nicotine replacement therapies have ever worked and for the first time electronic cigarettes have in fact given people help as an industry the electronic cigarette one, it is a community a quick moveing industry and has alot of people involved. The electronic cigarette trade association is an example of this.

Apparently the new product they are hoping to release in the next 24 months is a product development of Kind Consumer and uses an aerosol to deliver nicotine to the consumer. There is of course major concerns that the combined forces of the tobacco companies and their financial influences on the government could lead to them being able to regulate such a product something us independents are currently in the process of with the MHRA.

With the developments planned in a couple of years it is highly unlikely they will compete with an industry as big as our electronic cigarette industry and one that is growing daily.

With our consumer base, popularity continual product development and fight for self-regulation we feel the mighty tobacco companies may finally have lost the battle that should have been ended 60 years ago!
