Subject: Nicotine scheduling, and the Forum for Tobacco Alternatives.
Dear Sir/Madam
As im sure you are aware, the recent changes to the medicine schedule shows the MCC's intent to medicinalise nicotine. We feel this is both unlawful and and harmful for the public by way of removing a viable alternative to tobacco.
The Forum for Tobacco Alternatives, was started in 2010 to create self regulating industry body, and counter the original change in legislation which we accomplished successfully. We encourage you as a supplier to participate in this forum and invite customers to join also, with the aim of creating a support base we can use going forward.
We will also advise on policy for ensuring the MCC has no case in accusing companies of making health or cessation related claims.
Please see below mission statement and draft charter.

Look I think it is a good thing that this comes from someone at Twisp. They probably have the most invested in infrastructure compared to anyone else (even eciggies.co.za) but if they are driving this process then they are placed in a position whereby they can push for regulation that most suits their current and future business plans.
I am not saying that they have done this already, but saying that there is the potential for them to do so. If I was a vendor I would make certain that my participation in their initiative allowed me to be heard on an equal or near equal footing to them.
Also if they expect to be taken seriously they are going to need a proper website along with the FB forum, but I am guessing they already know that, and are hesitant to invest cash into the process, when a whole bunch of vendors (who have spent not even a fraction of what they have) will benefit from them winning this fight.
I think it is worth sending out a diplomatic message representing ecigssa, inviting them to get on to the forum and allowing us all to be represented as people who are associated with vaping.
