British vapers have two weeks to submit comments that could help change U.K. policies on vaping products.
The government is reviewing the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR), which will no longer have to follow the European Union’s Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) requirements.
The government must complete a review of the legislation within five years of the 2016 TRPR’s implementation. The public consultation site has links to the existing regulations. The deadline for submitting comments is March 19.
Vapers around the world tend to think of the U.K. as a vaping wonderland, with an e-cig-friendly government, and even anti-smoking organizations that encourage switching to e-cigarettes. However, as a member of the EU, the British government was required to adopt many of the same vaping and nicotine product restrictions as other EU members. That recently changed when the U.K. left the EU after 47 years.
