An example on how badly the interpretations of TPD article 20 can become. I expect Big Pharma and Big Tobacco are laughing their arses off.

If nicotine creates such a strong dependence then why do us that vape always reduce our nicotine consumption with lower nicotine and often zero nicotine content juices? As ever people who have no clue what they are talking about are making decisions that they are not qualified too make!!
