German banned E-liquid

In order to comply with the European Union's Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), Germany bans the mint-flavored E-liquid and many other flavors of E-liquid. The Tobacco Products Directive requires that menthol be banned in combustibles from 2022.

Although temporary, a lengthy list of restricted ingredients includes additives that promote inhalation or intake of nicotine, such as the controversial menthol Flavor in tobacco cigarette regulation.

A complete list can be found in the new vape intelligence report on German vape regulation and Germany's plans to implement TPD in domestic law.

Germany's list of prohibited ingredients - not completely banned all tastes - also includes vitamins and other additives that may give consumers a health hazard for vapes, as well as stimulants such as caffeine and taurine.

Menthol has been the target of tobacco control because evidence suggests that menthol smokers are more dependent on nicotine and find it difficult to quit nicotine. The evidence is also concerned that menthol is more likely to cause potential new smokers than tobacco.

The Polish government’s attempt to challenge the decree in the European Court of Justice (ECJ) was rejected by EU proponents in rejecting the same allegations of the E-liquid producer Totally Wicked’s allegations of the Tobacco Products Directive, even though the court did not follow the case. obligation.

However, the Tobacco Products Directive leaves the decision of the vape Flavor to each member state, and Germany is only working on a discretionary area.

At the same time, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is considering its own mint ban, menthol, which is highly controversial and has a fairly high proportion of mint-flavored cigarettes among African-American smokers.

The scientific understanding of the exact effects of menthol is incomplete, although it seems to alter the way nicotine is metabolized by the body.

The vape intelligence report on German vape regulation covers all aspects of the implementation of the Tobacco Products Directive, as well as other issues such as age restrictions and use in public places. The report also outlines the regulatory situation in several major German states.

This means that menthol is the only important commodity on the market for flammable products, and a non-tobacco Flavor that seems to play a part in addiction. Although its exact mechanism is still unclear, menthol is the inevitable goal of tobacco control.

Therefore, menthol will be on the list of any EU member states that like to restrict vape Flavor, even if it does not want to be suspected of being particularly notorious for the fruity and candy flavors of young people.

Although the government's regulation of vapes continues to emerge as a new response policy, the vapes' health certification will continue, but smokers have gradually recognized vapes, and vapes are gradually ushered in a peak.
