烟草在线据美通社报道编译　　总部在英国的电子卷烟制造商Totally Wicked公司已决定，给欧洲议会的全部754名议员每人发一支电子卷烟。随电子卷烟一起派送的，还会有一个简单而实事求是地解释为什么电子卷烟不属于《烟草产品指令》内产品的简报文件。

　　附信请求欧洲议会议员们对电子卷烟进行详细的审核，并提出以下问题：

　　“你如何处理一种模仿卷烟，但不是卷烟，阻止人们吸烟，但不是药品的产品？”

　　Totally Wicked公司担心，如果欧洲政策制定者们依照《2001/83EC法令》（药用产品指令）而获得授权的话，目前来讲，他们认为电子卷烟只应该被放到市场上销售。

　　Totally Wicked公司认为，通过希望将电子卷烟作为医药产品加以管制，并通过禁止加香料，欧洲委员会和他们在议会中的支持者实际上有效地禁止了电子卷烟。而这种观点得到了欧洲议会自己的法律事务委员会的支持。

UK: Totally Wicked Sends E-cigarette to each Member of the European Parliament in Fight against TPD

　　UK based electronic cigarette manufacturer Totally Wicked Ltd, has taken the decision to send all 754 MEPs an electronic cigarette. Accompanying the e-cigarette will be a briefing document that simply and factually explains why e-cigarettes do not belong in the TPD.

　　A covering letter asks MEPs to examine the e-cigarette in detail and poses the following question:

　　"What do you do with a product that mimics smoking, but is not a cigarette, that stops people smoking, but is not a medicine?"

　　Totally Wicked is concerned that at present, EU policy makers believe that e-cigarettes should only be placed on the market if they are authorised pursuant to Directive 2001/83/EC (the Medicinal Products Directive).

　　By wishing to regulate e-cigarettes as a medicinal product, and by banning flavours, Totally Wicked believe the Commission and their supporters in Parliament are effectively banning e-cigarettes, a view that is supported by the European Parliament's own Legal Affairs Committee.
