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
Is the EU funded by cigarettes?
Verbatim from the mouth of Jesus (retranslated from a retranslation of a copy of a copy):
"Do not judge, or you too will be judged. For in the same way you judge others, you too will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. How can you see your brother's head up his ass when your own vision is darkened by your head being even further up your ass? How can you say to your brother, 'Get your head out of your ass,' when all the time your head is up your own ass? You hypocrite! First take your head out of your own ass, and then you will see clearly who has his head up his ass and who doesn't." Matthew 7:1-5 (also Luke 6: 41-42)
