German waste management authority AWB welcomed the new take-back mandate, warning that improperly discarded vapes pose severe fire risks.

Dutch Health Minister Rejects Generational Tobacco Ban
Dutch Health Minister Sophie Hermans has officially rejected implementing a generational tobacco ban in the Netherlands, stating the policy would fail to curb smoking. Addressing Parliament, Hermans argued that a lifetime ban on purchasing tobacco for younger generations—similar to the UK's landmark legislation—is useless in a country already saturated with a massive parallel market. Highlighting the scale of the issue, recent statistics show that an overwhelming 87% of Dutch vapers currently obtain and use illicit products, suggesting a ban would only further fuel underground trade.
