Navigating Flavour Restrictions with Innovation
The vaping industry is at a crossroads at a time when debates about flavourings for vaping are in full swing.
The speech by King Charles of England underlined the urgency of addressing public health concerns related to vaping, signalling strong support for measures such as the regulation of flavourings.
Meanwhile, EU health ministers discussed proposals to implement a continent-wide ban on flavourings in consumer nicotine products, including vapes and nicotine pouches.
Countries like Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Lithuania, the Netherlands, and Slovenia already enforce flavour bans, and Spain has recently concluded a public consultation on the issue. Latvia is also in the process of introducing flavour restrictions. The EU Tobacco Products Directive currently allows member states to set their own rules for flavours, but the Latvian proposal argues that individual bans are ineffective due to cross-border sales.
While vaping activists, including Michael Landl of the World Vapers’ Alliance, warn that a flavour ban could drive millions back to smoking or into the black market, it is crucial for the industry to adapt and innovate in response to these regulatory challenges.
