Disposable Vapes To Be Banned

[dansus]

Unfortunately vaping is going to take a massive hit in the future. We all know when disposables are banned the "kids" will move onto small closed system pod devices. The same shite will happen and those devices will come under the firing line.
It's a slippery slope!

Elfbar make a disposable pod system that looks and works exactly the same as their disposable, like a Juul pod, and kids won't even blink at the transition. Looking forward to stories and faux outrage of where all these new fangled 'pods' came from.

I know. I'm sure pre filled pods will be the next on the list.

They already are, if they restrict flavours to say only tobacco and mint...

If that's the case then there won't be much of a market will there.

No, they'll be a massive black (and probably grey) market...

I was referring to a legal market. No doubt our beloved youths will still have access to an illegal one.

Vaping is all but doomed now in the UK. This is only the start. Disposables I tried em didnt like em - and so that wont really bother me personally but now the ban hammer begins to fall no one in Govt will really challenge it to any degree as from a political pov it is a no brainer - despite the millions of people who quit fags due to vaping (like me) I spend a lot of time in Denmark at the moment and it used to be a vapers paradise until the govt got its claws into it. Now only 2 flavours can be bought legally - tobacco and some vile tasting tobacco with some bubble gum kind of flavour, Vape stores here are now a shadow of what they once were. Did it stop people ? nope ? can you still smoke fags in certain bars / pubs inside ? yes.

And the result people get the fix by buying "illegal" vape or importing but if caught you can face big fines from what I heard. Im in Germany at the moment and there is talk of a vape crack down here but so far everything on sale - but disposables seem expensive like 10 euros for 1. UK is going to sh..t for vapers and so many (like me) will turn to the black market if the flavour ban comes into force which Im certain it will by next year - if all else fails i will go back to smoking fags - which was my plan anyway if I lived to be 75 -) And god help us with a labour gvmt who will regulate even further - probably prescription only - at 3 times the cost with few or no flavours left. Crap days ahead and there is nothing that will change it i fear.

If you compare to the USA -
https://vaping360.com/vape-news/126330/about-fdas-new-authorized-e-cigarette-list/

There you can make a Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) to be authorised by the FDA, and if you've got millions (per product), you could be one of these -
FDA-authorized (and available) e-cigarette list:

• Logic Pro + two tobacco-flavored refills
• Logic Power + one tobacco-flavored refill
• NJOY Daily – two nicotine strengths, both tobacco-flavored
• NJOY Ace + three tobacco-flavored refills
• Vuse Solo + two tobacco-flavored refills
• Vuse Vibe + one tobacco-flavored refill

Here’s a list of vaping products the agency hasn’t authorized:

• Bottled e-liquid: 0
• Open-system (refillable) devices, tanks and pods: 0
• Vapes in flavors other than tobacco: 0
• Disposable vapes people like: 0
• Vapes popular in vape shops: 0
• Vapes popular in convenience stores: 0
• Vapes popular anywhere in the world: 0
• Vapes made by companies not owned by Big Tobacco: 0

While millions of independent vape industry products have been denied authorization by the FDA, many others are being disputed in federal courts. And hundreds more PMTAs remain under FDA review, with no decision yet made.

While those products have not been specifically authorized for sale, the FDA has indicated by words and actions that it will not enforce against them while their PMTAs or legal challenges are pending. Ultimately, FDA’s list of authorized products is meaningless unless the agency decides to take action against thousands of products with uncertain authorization status. As it stands now, unauthorized does not necessarily mean illegal.

So the state of affairs in the USA atm has enabled a massive grey market of stores nationwide selling vapes that almost all have not been approved by the FDA's unbelievably onerous, expensive and corrupt PMTA system...
.. something like that could happen here...
