Here we go again. @TeamYouTube@YouTube@YouTubeCreators Please help me with this recent strike. There is no links or mention of sales for any regulated goods. This is getting beyond ridiculous. My appeal was rejected with no explanation. https://t.co/aup2jEPHm9
@Vaping_Industry You are disappointed? We as a consumer are disappointed that you have not once issued a statement about the possibility of a flavour ban, there will be no need for the vape licence if they take away the only thing that is stopping consumers from smoking is flavours
Our Director General John Dunne is heading to Parliament this afternoon to attend and take part in a cross-party roundtable discussion on a newly launched, first-of-its-kind licensing framework for the vape sector.
The framework, which has been developed by leading online retailer and founding member @vapeclub , follows a comprehensive research and consultation period involving key figureheads and bodies from the vape and retail industries, as well as enforcement and regulation.
The UK Vaping Industry Association, as the leading trade body for the sector, has been advocating for licensing for some five years as a means to support greater enforcement action for rogue retailers and, ultimately, cut illicit and underage sales off at the source.

Calling all Vaper’s in the u.k .
Fed up of our so called vaping associations letting us down with the latest government ban on disposable vapes and the possibility of a flavour bans. Now’s the time to act before it’s too late . Let them hear your voices
The UKVIA is dismayed at the government’s decision to ban disposable vapes, which have been instrumental in bringing the UK’s smoking rates down to a record low and have played a key role in helping millions of adults quit and stay off cigarettes.
While action to prevent youth access to vaping is critical, this move smacks more of a desperate attempt by the government to sacrifice vapers for votes ahead of the upcoming General Election. If the government thinks banning disposables will help protect young people, they are completely misguided. This counterproductive legislation will sooner put children at greater risk by turbo-charging the black market and, in turn, making it easier for them to access illicit and non-compliant vapes.
The answer to youth vaping doesn’t lie in counterproductive bans and restrictions, but rather in effective and proactive enforcement – which is woefully lacking – of the law which states that it is illegal for vapes to be sold to minors. It’s why the UKVIA has been part of a major industry-wide consultation over the last couple of months that has led to the development of a vape retailer and distributor licensing scheme to make it harder for the rogue traders to get away with underage and illicit sales. This is being presented to parliamentarians in February and will raise £50m or more to put towards Trading Standards to increase enforcement without any cost to the taxpayer.
In the meantime, we will hold the Government to account for the increased smoking rates, as well as the lives and jobs that will be lost, as a result of their shocking and ill thought through decision today.

⚠️BREAKING NEWS⚠️The OH Senate voted today to override DeWine’s veto of HB 33! This means local governments are now prohibited from imposing local standards that exceed state restrictions, so existing laws – like the Columbus flavor ban – are now blocked!
