The EUTPD and You? How will the new vaping laws effect you as a user.

The New EUPD Law: How Would It Affect Users?

Here's a secret that may surprise you: Customers would still enjoy great satisfaction while using vaping liquid products, despite the EUPD impact. Read further to know.

 It is no longer news that the European Tobacco Product Directive has finally been passed. One would think that it solely affects tobacco products alone, but it's not. May 2016 is a month that has reshaped so many things for vaping liquid firms, e–cigarette companies, and particularly for users and consumers of vaping liquids. It is sad that in formulating policies that are meant for the people, the people themselves are not consulted or carried along, then all of a sudden, a policy jumps out of government coffers, and it is termed a policy for the people.

The extant clauses and laws of the directives are not what we want to dwell on here but the direct effects of those limitations/laws on the consumers and users of our product. There is the concern that so many people feel that since vaping is a growing phenomenon, there should be some quick – hard rule to keep it in check so as not to get overblown.

The directive is not that bad as it seems, and there's some good news about it. One of the policies is to reduce nicotine to 20 mg/ml, so this means that for users who would prefer stronger e-liquids, they would need to inhale more vapor to get the nicotine they want.

Another is that there should be some reduction of e-juice containers to 10 ml and tanks/cartridges to 2 ml. There will also be clear warnings on the pack in bold black and white, covering about 30% or more of the main pack surfaces and warning people about the risk involved, and also there will be a leaflet in the pack – even though nothing similar is required for cigarettes.

Tanks and cartridges have made vaping more pleasurable and less risky. The duo makes vaping the most individually personalized and a great alternative to smoking. This might just make users get more tanks since they are used to having more and they would now have a lesser quantity than what was obtainable.

Directive also states that packaging must also include a list of all ingredients contained in the product, information on the product's nicotine content, a leaflet setting out instructions for use, information on adverse effects, risk groups, addictiveness, and toxicity. So when you see those flyers, be rest assured you are still purchasing the right ones, even though promotional elements are not allowed on e-cigarette packaging and promotion of e-cigarettes is now prohibited. It also states that strong child resistant and tamper evident packaging is required for liquids and devices and that the device must be protected strongly against breakage and leakage and capable of being refilled without leakage.

Yes it's going to be a challenge for us to meet this new EUPD standard, but this helps us to make further research and innovations to ensure that customers health are our priority, while at the same time produce maximum satisfactions to those who uses them. Naturally, consumers might get scared that the new standards will reduce the appeal or undermine the effectiveness of the products they consume. In fact, what these does is that it will enhance more sophistication and would allow users to absorb nicotine quickly, but from a lower concentration. This will in no way reduce the quality of vaping liquids or satisfaction derived from vaping.
