TPD Approval Vape Manufacturers

On March 25th, 2022, the Northwest Territories announced that it’s ban on the sale of flavoured vaping products will take effect. This ban was intended to better protect the public and youth from vaping as “a significant health hazard… causing acute lung injury”, despite overwhelming evidence that these events were linked to illegal THC products purchased from the illicit market, not legal nicotine vape products.

Taiwan’s national legislature (Legislative Yuan) banned e-cigarettes yesterday, passing the third reading of a series of amendments to the Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act. The new laws were first proposed last year by the country’s cabinet (Executive Yuan).Vaping products, classified as “tobacco-like products,” will be strictly prohibited, including sale, manufacture, promotion, import, and even personal use. The amendments will take effect a month after their publication by the government.

One of the best parts of vapes is the ability to choose your own nicotine strength. And that includes zero nicotine as an option too! Plenty of vapers begin vaping with the goal of weaning off nicotine until they reach zero; using vapes to quit smoking and to break the addiction to nicotine. Yet, some continue vaping without nicotine even after weaning off cigarettes. Then others use both nicotine and non-nicotine juice. Finally, there are vapers that have never used nicotine at all and instead use CBD vape pens.

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.

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.
