The United Kingdom will offer free vapes to one million smokers in England—the first time such a plan has been tried nationally. The quit-smoking scheme was announced today in a speech by British Health Minister Neil O’Brien.People who want to quit smoking will be given free vape starter kits, along with behavioral support. Such “swap to stop” programs have been proven effective in local trials. The national campaign will begin in what O’Brien called “deprived neighbourhoods,” and will focus on “settings such as job centres, homeless centres, and social housing providers.” The plan also includes financial incentives for pregnant women who quit smoking.

The Free Market Foundation has raised concerns about the government’s plans to regulate e-cigarette and vaping products, which it says could push more people towards traditional cigarettes and the illicit market.The regulations will primarily be introduced through the draft Control of Tobacco Products and Electronic Delivery Systems Bill and new taxes, the think tank said.“The South African government argues that e-cigarette and vaping products are harmful and warrant regulation. However, e-cigarettes and vaping innovations are tobacco harm-reduction products, aimed at mitigating the adverse health impacts associated with combustible tobacco products,” it said.It warned that heavy regulation will lead to exorbitant costs, and consequently disincentivises the uptake of alternatives, leading to the opposite of the intended effect.

Last Friday, Hawaiian state legislators passed a “tax parity” law that applies the same tax rate to vaping products as combustible cigarettes. If signed into law by Governor Josh Green, vaping products would be subject to a 70 percent wholesale tax—one of the highest rates in the country. The bill also bans sales to consumers by out-of-state retailers, which essentially bans online sales by sellers outside Hawaii.

The cost factors such as land and labor costs make Indonesia the first choice for setting-up abroad for e-cigarette companies, but the country also has more to offer. The ease of integration of production and sales brought by the large population is the country’s one huge advantage. Indonesia has a world-leading smoking rate with the smoking population reaching 70.2 million. That is a smoking rate of 34%. The demographic structure of Indonesia makes it a great population to develop e-cigarettes. Secondly, Indonesia has relatively loose regulations on the marketing of e-cigarettes. Indonesia is the only country in Southeast Asia that allows tobacco advertising on television and in the media.The policies are very friendly to Chinese e-cigarette manufacturers.
