Things You might Not Know About Vaping Legislation
There is a Storm Coming
Over the last few months, much has been discussed about regulating or banning electronic cigarettes, whether through the media, papers or various publications and the message appears to be the same, regulation and taxation will eventually raise its ugly head.
For our part we're very much in favour of setting regulations to ensure that
vaping products, whether it's ingredients in e-liquid or quality in hardware
have a continually improving quality standard. This must improve across the
board! It can only be a good thing for consumers by making available devices
safer and ensuring better quality e-juice, but it all comes down to how it's
implemented and what impact it has on the end user, the vapers.
Historically, the UK has followed the USA in many things from wars to laws and beyond, this may be the case with vaping; legislation and regulation is very different there to what we are experiencing and enjoying here within the UK.
The attached article presents a trend that has discretely made
its way to our shores, with (Big Tobacco run) companies presenting sealed
prefilled clearomizers that are "easier and quicker to replace" at
the cost of performance, quality and, most importantly, choice.
No longer will you be able to mix your favourite eliquids together for that
personal cocktail or choose which e-liquid company suits your taste buds. This
would now be chosen for you. Fans of 24mg may have to do with a top ceiling of
20mg,and there is even talk of a limit
to how much e-liquid you would be able to buy daily.
Legislation like this
will hurt pockets, and potentially cripple the quality of vaping devices and
liquid while big tobacco companies remain on a pedestal; NRT like nicotine
patches, gum, spray and lozenges will flourish in spite of containing the same (and
often many more!) ingredients in higher doses even though it's been proven to
be less effective and considerably more expensive.
It may lead to a neutering of vaping to serve the interests of large
corporations and pharmaceutical companies worldwide, click on the link to the sourced article below
