VPZ seeks clarity as minister acknowledges devices designed to circumvent vape regulations
VPZ is calling for action after a minister admitted manufacturers are creating devices to bypass UK vape regulations.Summary
During a debate in the House of Lords, Baroness Merron acknowledged that manufacturers are designing vaping devices with multiple refill containers to circumvent existing regulations limiting tank and refill container sizes. VPZ expressed concern that these devices undermine the intention of the law, contribute to youth vaping, and act as de facto disposable products despite being designed as reusable. The company is urging the government to close this loophole and ban these devices, arguing that responsible retailers are being disadvantaged by the lack of enforcement against illegal imports and non-compliant products. VPZ supports proportionate regulation that protects young people, maintains product standards, and provides adult smokers with compliant alternatives to traditional tobacco.
