false advertising for e cigarettes? - Wendy - 05-16-2014 02:44 PM
i three my cigarettes away on christmas day and said no more tar and nicotine for me so i bought the patch and there was another product on the shelf that i thought might be a good item for when i get cravings, e cigarettes the pack said no nicotine right on the front so i have been using them since . when i went to get some more yesterday they were still on the shelf but the manager of the store said the vapour cartridges were discontinued i found this odd so i went on line to the company which is still sell all their products on line. i decided to go further and read the ingredients for these and indeed there is nicotine in them. so now i have to go through another with drawl because of the nicotine in the e cigarettes. do i have a case for false advertising with this company ? you can check for yourself it is called e cigarettes by jasper and jasper

There is an organisation called Advertising Standards Authority (UK) which protects customers from false advertising. If you feel the advert was misleading, you should contact this organisation and as I believe they will take some action against the company. This should not happen, it is so unfair. Here is the guide how to complain: http://www.asa.org.uk/Consumers/How-to-complain.aspx
I hope this will help you to decide whether to make a complaint or not and I wish you good luck in the future.
