UK regulations & enforcement

Time: 14:00 - 14:15

Date: 2024 Thursday 5th December

Challenges of Enforcement:  The UK Government is planning to introduce further legislation to reduce the attractiveness and availability of vaping products to children and protect the environment. Critics say there is no point in considering new regulations when the current ones are not enforced. Kate will discuss the challenges faced by the authorities in enforcing the current regulations and how new legislation may help or hinder attempts to prevent children from using vapes while maintaining their availability and attractiveness for smoking cessation.
