UK trading standards are enforcing The General Product Safety Directive (GPSD) now which I think might be good news - proves there is regulation of the market.

You can see what they've been up to by going to this link and searching for 'nicotine' or 'electronic cigarettes' - http://ec.europa.eu/...archives_en.cfm

There's an old entry which was the one in 2008 that shut down Rustylug's market stall. The rest are new this year, three kits and one case involving eliquid.

Interesting link :) I remember Rustylug. This video of him seems to have gone viral judging by the view count!

The name of the rapid alert system, "RAPEX" could have been better thought out.. Sounds kind of threatening :bulgy-eyes:
