How are e-cigarettes regulated? Let's break it down. Vaping products containing nicotine fall under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR). These bad boys need to be notified to the MHRA and must meet specific standards. For instance, nicotine content is capped at 20 milligrams per millilitre (mg/mL) before they can hit the UK market.
On the flip side, vaping products that don't contain nicotine are governed by the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, with local authority Trading Standards departments enforcing these rules. This ensures all vaping gear, nicotine or not, meets safety standards.
This isn't just regulation; it's a promise of safety and quality. So, when you pick up that e-cig, know that it's been through the wringer to ensure you're getting the best. Let's keep pushing boundaries and staying informed. This is your R.I.O.T. journey. Own it.
