Ok, so firstly I'm not a Christian.
Secondly, I read your entire post, however as soon as I saw those two words I knew in my gut that you were being facetious. Reading the rest of the post just confirmed my feelings.
Thirdly, whilst "advertising" might include anything that promotes, that's not what the wording of the law states. It uses the phrase "commercial communications", which is a much narrower definition. If the communication is designed to make a commercial sale, it's banned. If it's just discussing the product, or vaping in general, it's not covered.
Commercial communication is a very broad term .... as Google and others are finding out .... You write about a product and communicate it, it is a commercial communication ..... What you should be looking at is the word "promote"
Note the term commercial communication isn't set in stone and is being raised in many cases that involve legislation from European Directives on information society's
If every one just looked at Directives and legislation and said Oh look at those two words we are OK we would soon be in the shit
Religion is the top shelf of the supernatural supermarket ... Madog
