“MILLIONS of Brits are facing a ban on vaping,” ran one headline. “E-cigarettes in the UK could be BANNED under World Health Organisation recommendations to outlaw vaping,” screamed another.
It stands as one of the stupidest things the WHO has ever attempted as it spectacularly backfired.
The Bloomberg bankrolled plan includes two prohibition measures according to consumer group INNCO(1):
- To prohibit electronic nicotine delivery systems and electronic non-nicotine delivery systems over which the user can control device features and liquid ingredients (that is, open systems)
- To prohibit the sale of electronic nicotine delivery systems that have a higher abuse liability than conventional cigarettes, for example by restricting the emission rate or/flux of nicotine
Open systems refer to any device where the user can change the coil and add their own e-liquid. This method of vaping is preferred by 77% of all vapers in the United Kingdom.
