Qatar Photo Comp - More Prizes

In addition to the three great prizes already on offer on our Qatar Photo Competition, E Cigarette Direct have kindly offered an Electronic Cigarette pack as an additional prize.

The Electronic Cigarette is an alternative smoking device, which allows smokers to indulge their habit with many of the harmful substances in the E-Cigarette stripped out of it.

E-cigarette Direct have told us this is not recomended for non-smokers, and if you are a non-smoker winning the e-cigarette you should give it to a smoker, or to someone trying to stop smoking tobacco. In addition, any minors (under 18 years of age) will be found an alternative prize!
