News reaches us from America that their Department of Transportation is considering banning the use of electronic cigarettes on commercial airlines.
More than 700 people commented on the proposal which is due to be decided by Summer 2012.
The proposal’s been put forward because of the increased promotion and use of electronic cigarettes.
The department has said that although it considers electronic cigarettes to be covered under the existing law banning smoking on aeroplanes, it intends to adopt a rule specifically banning them.
If the move goes ahead it could spell a problem for travellers who rely on the use of e cigs to calm their nerves during flights.
I have read so many comments on forums recently, mostly in American ones, complaining about how the FDA are trying to prohibit the sale of Electronic Cigarettes in the USA.
It seems so crazy to me that they have all the statistics right in front of them, all the information in the world telling them how dangerous cigarettes are and all the benefits of the E-Cig and they have the audacity to ban it! Aside from that, the majority of American smokers are in favour of electronic cigarettes, in fact they highly rate them!
One user of the Smart Smoker electronic cigarette said ‘This is the best alternative out there by a mile!’
Bill Godshall of Smokefree Pennsylvania said that, “denying 45 million cigarette smokers access to exponentially less hazardous smokefree nicotine alternatives would result in millions of preventable deaths among smokers, millions of nonsmokers continuing to be exposed to tobacco smoke pollution, and tens of thousands of e-cigarettes users reverting back to smoking cigarettes.” He also said, “it is absurd for the FDA to even contemplate protecting the deadliest nicotine products (cigarettes) from market competition by the least hazardous nicotine products.”
Smart Smoker is a very popular electric cigarette company all over the world and smokers who are trying their hardest to kick their habit are being forced to use other methods that are not neccesarily as effective or as wallet friendly.
What really gripes me though and I’m sure it will you too, is that the person influencing regulations on electronic cigarette sales in the USA is Senator Frank Lautenberg who has a vested interest in not allowing electronic cigarettes to become the most popular, alternative to smoking. Known for putting a stop to smoking on aeroplanes, Lautenberg has now lost the plot in his crusade for a healthier America and rather than helping smokers, banning electronic cigarettes is just going to reverse all the good work they’ve already done for a vast amount of the public.

It’s official, Smart Smoker USA is now live!
This month signals the launch of Smart Smoker USA which means that our electronic cigarettes from Smart Smoker will now be easily available to millions of smokers in America, meaning that more and more people can enjoy the real alternative.
Around 440,000 Americans die every year from tobacco related illnesses and so with the recent introduction of Smart Smoker’s electronic cigarette to the USA, we can contribute to reducing that horrifying death toll.
This is a major step for Smart Smoker who, up until now have enjoyed rapid success in the UK, Ireland and Spain. When we compare the size of the US e-cig market to that of the UK, for example, we see there are around seven times as many smokers in America than there are in the UK and by just half of them switching to the electronic cigarette, millions of people could reduce their risk of coronary heart disease, lung failure, cancer and circulatory problems.
This is a hugely exciting and encouraging time for e-cigarettes, which contain no harmful substances such as tar, cyanide or carcinogens. The prospect of the American market is one that would really make a difference to so many peoples’ lives as well as getting this fantastic product recognised as a global brand
One of the most encouraging things about the introduction of the e-cigarette to America is that due to the huge number of large, well established, Nationwide chain stores that the country has, Smart Smoker can be quickly distributed across the nation, making it a widely recognised brand and therefore making electric cigarettes, a trusted and respected, real alternative.
