Kind of a lot of text out of somebody who doesn't want to talk about it any more.
If your issue is that the EU doesn't really have to follow its own laws (or the EC-whatever), that I can understand. If the EU is writing laws that destroy free speech, that's definitely a problem. What I see happening here, on the other hand, is that they're trying to limit the promotion of a nicotine delivery product. That is a pretty normal thing for modern countries to do, and I'm not aware of any examples where such laws lead directly to further free speech limitations.
You also mentioned that the issue of wording is before parliament, which tells me that concerned parties are in the process of deciding how to rectify that situation.
LoL ... your first statement is right on the mark. I stand admonished ...
Your second point I understand if we are talking about equal detriment ... but a to attack a product that is 95% safer than the apparent bogey man that funds a considerable proportion of EU funding does raise an eye brow.
On your third point we are in total agreement
