I don't necessarily agree you about the EU because while they generally are a pain in the ass, there have been several occasions (particularly over the last 20 years) where they have stepped in and stopped our own government doing things that are not necessarily good for us (for instance, the UK government was apparently happy to sit by and do nothing while Phorm, google etc were busy setting up equipment to monitor us until the EU intervened and threatened legal action).

However, the restrictions on Electronic cigs being discussed are designed to restrict advertising them to kids. Are you saying you want kids to be able to see the adverts? Bear in mind that smoking electronic cigs, while safer than smoking tobacco cigs is still not as safe as smoking nothing at all.
