Status of nicotine free e-cigarettes

The request was successful.

Dear Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency,

Ref: http://www.mhra.gov.uk/NewsCentre/CON288... , "UK moves towards safe and effective electronic cigarettes and other nicotine-containing products",

What recorded information is there regarding restrictions on nicotine free electronic cigarettes?

Many of the vaping products available bear no relation to the cigarette lookalikes which feature heavily in your promotional material and can be used with nicotine free e-liquid, what restrictions will there be on the devices and liquids that are used for nicotine free vapour production?

Yours faithfully,

J.A.F. Mitchell
