An expert adviser on the regulatory regime around vapes warned today that convenience stores and other retailers must expect much closer scrutiny in the wake of the Khan review into smoking.
All eyes are on the vaping sector since Dr Javed Khan OBE urged the government to embrace vaping as the most effective tool to help people quit smoking, says the managing director of Arcus Compliance.
Dr Khan cautioned that vapes are not a ‘silver bullet’ and not totally risk-free but pointed out that the alternative is far worse. Vaping therefore has an important role to play in achieving the goal of a smoke-free society by 2030.
Yet the review raised concerns about vapes falling into the hands of minors and its publication coincided with media reports on the negative health experiences of users of vape disposables.
