Currently, the legal age for purchasing E-Cigarettes is set at 18 – this is also the legal age for buying cigarettes. Issues arise however when retailers do not challenge the age of those they sell to, or parents and friends buying E-Cigarettes for those younger than them. Early last year the Independent British Vape Trade Association (IBVA) launched an Age of Sale Guidance for vape shops and retailers, due to concerns. Raising the legal age to 21 could be beneficial for trying to limit vaping products falling into the hands of young adults. There could also be benefits to vaping brands/retailers and parents appropriately educating underage children about the harms of smoking cigarettes and by extension, vaping.

Vaping is unsafe and potentially dangerous. While the long-term health effects are unclear, we do know that vaping in the short-term has been associated with nausea, vomiting, mouth and airway irritation, chest pain and heart palpitations.

A European Commission public consultation on the legislative framework for tobacco products is underway and will accept responses until May 16. The consultation—the second part of a process that began in 2022—launched in late February. While the consultation seeks comments on all tobacco products, it is clearly aimed at introducing harsher regulation for e-cigarettes and other low-risk nicotine products. Comments solicited will be used to shape changes to the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) and possibly the Tobacco Advertising Directive. The consultation itself was deliberately written to elicit anti-vaping responses, according to sources quoted in a Vejpkollen story. But it is the only tool European vapers and other nicotine product users have available to prevent the adoption of prohibitionist vaping laws.

The Netherlands will postpone its flavor ban for six months,according to the Dutch vape trade association Esigbond. The decision to delay implementation of the law, which had been scheduled to take effect July 1, was made by the Dutch cabinet (Council of Ministers).The flavor ban, approved last May by the cabinet, will only allow sales of tobacco-flavored vaping products. To enforce the restrictions, the National Institute for Public Health and the Environment (RIVM) created a list of approved flavorings, which Esigbond says was based on the list produced by Health Canada for its planned flavor ban. Esigbond says the list included two flavorings—isophorone and pyridine—known to be carcinogenic.

Countless health entities such as Public Health England (PHE) promote such alternative products as smoking cessation and/or harm reduction tools.A number of studies have pointed out that in countries where vaping rates have increased, smoking rates have decreased, and vaping rates seem to decreasing aswell. In fact, a 2020 US survey indicated that only 20% of high school students and 5% of middle school students have reported recently using e-cigs. This is a significant drop in comparison to the 28% and 11% reported in 2019, with the percentages suggested to equate to a drop of 1.8 million, from 5.4 million to 3.6 million.
