Its specific comments are as follows:
Establish a new retailer licensing program to improve compliance;
Review flavor naming conventions to limit appeal to teens;
Strengthening regulations for online advertising and promotion;
Improve product quality and safety standards to ensure adult smokers feel confident switching to vaping products;
Work with industry to increase support for local authorities to combat non-compliance.
Imperial Tobacco UK and Ireland managing director Oliver Kutz said in a statement:
“We welcome contributions to the OHID Evidence Call on Youth E-cigarette Use.”

Government, industry, and law enforcement must work together to create a regulatory framework that supports the important role e-cigarettes play in helping adult smokers quit, while preventing the attraction and exposure of those under the age of 18 to these products.
