It is looking increasingly likely that e-liquid sales will be banned in the forthcoming EU Tobacco Directive rewrite.
A
figure of 4mg/ml nicotine strength has been quoted as the upper limit
for EU sales, and because EU law is UK law, this means it will be
enforced in the UK. There are two reasons for this:
1. EU law is
enforced more strictly in the UK than anywhere else. In many countries,
they take a laissez-faire attitude to EU regulations and basically
ignore them. This applies the further south you go, as you may well know
if you travel widely. However the UK takes the opposite view and
regards EU law as written in stone. The same might occasionally be said
about Germany, but many would say the UK enforces EU law more strictly
than any other country.
2. The MHRA is the pharmaceutical industry's legal arm within government, and will enforce this regulation with an iron fist.
