Trade body the UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) has set out its vision for the post-Brexit government’s position on vaping. Launched today, “Blueprint for Better Regulation” presents a bold vision for the sector’s future and a key test of the Government’s regulatory independence post-Brexit.
The Blueprint document was developed by leading businesses in the British vaping market, who are members of the UKVIA(1). The organisation says it is a response to the Government’s consultation on the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations (TRPR) which closes on 19th March(2).
Consumer group The New Nicotine Alliance has already issued a call(3) for vapers to engage with the government’s consultation process and respond to its questions(4).
The UKVIA says: “The review of the regulations represents a defining moment in the history of the vaping industry, one of the leading market disruptors in the 21st century responsible for a significant decline in smoking across the UK. It also presents the biggest opportunity yet for the British Government to create vaping regulation that supports its 2030 smoke free target and ensures the sector can make a bigger contribution to the nation’s public health and economy in the future.”
