TPD or tobacco product directives set forth rules in order to regulate tobacco and synthetic tobacco products in the EU. The set of rules laid out by the TPD is the basic ground rules that e-cigarette manufacturers in any given country have to follow, but a country can create stricter laws and rules than those proposed by the TPD. All of the manufacturers are given a certain period of time before which they have to sell their existing stock and afterward only sell products that comply with the rules laid down by the TPD. This time period ranges from 1 year to 5 years, because big companies may have entire warehouses full of existing stock that they have the right to sell, regardless of the fact that it falls out of TPD compliance.
The laws proposed by TPD only apply to the manufacturers of e-cigarettes, not the consumers, because it’s illegal to sell before it’s illegal to purchase.
Following are some of the rules set forth by TPD that apply to the e-cigarette industry in the UK.
- E-liquids containing nicotine are supposed to be sold in bottles, with child-proof lids, with a maximum capacity of 2ml.
- Vapes that contain pre-filled e-liquids (disposable vapes, ciga-like vapes, etc.) should only contain 2ml of e-liquid.
These are all the rules laid out by TPD in order to regulate the e-cigarette industry. There is no strict regulation on flavours and aromas of e-liquid, however, a flavour could be banned if it contains any of the ingredients considered by TPD as harmful for consumption like diacetyl.
