Turkey

Electronic cigarettes are on sale at http://www.elektroniksigaramarkalari.com/ As there is no citation in the article for laws restricting their sale I am changing the text to say they are legal. If you revert to illegal please cite the law. How do I change the color on the map please? Jzlcdh (talk) 17:22, 7 September 2014 (UTC)

I have updated the picture with the information from Turkey, the map was self made which I have put on Wikicommons. 159753 (talk) 19:37, 9 September 2014 (UTC)

Austria

The refrence does not seem to match the statement. A translation of the page suggests that it only covers one product, and not another. It also mentions containing nicotine. Are we sure that e-cigarettes that do not contain nicotine are medical devices in Austria? AlbinoFerret (talk) 12:24, 5 October 2014 (UTC)

Deletion of well sourced material

This text was deleted by Cloudjpk with no explanation, besides a link to a talk page discussion in another article.

Public health experts point out that electronic cigarettes use has been growing rapidly and that no proof of serious health risks has emerged, warning that misguided regulatory action could interfere with a safe substitute for smoking.

Evidence conflicts with the view that electronic cigarettes are undermining tobacco control or 'renormalising' smoking, and they may be contributing to a reduction in smoking prevalence through increased success at quitting smoking.

We identify important errors in the description and interpretation of the studies reviewed, and find many of its key conclusions misleading

I would appreciate an explanation on the deletion. - Cwobeel (talk) 00:39, 13 October 2014 (UTC)

Regulatory background

The extensive discussion in Talk:Electronic_cigarette#Consensus_for_adding_this establishes there is no consensus for McNeill as a reliable source. Bates is even simpler; he has no scientific or public health credentials. Either reliable sources must be found to source, or these views must be cited as views, not as public health expertise.
