The regulatory impact of disposable vapes
Speaker: Barnaby Page
Chair: Konstantinos Poulas
Barnaby Page examines the evolution of regulatory frameworks, such as the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) and the US Premarket Tobacco Product Application (PMTA) system, as well as shifts in public and policy-maker perceptions of nicotine products. He has also explored the impact of disposable vapes on the broader Tobacco Harm Reduction (THR) discussion. He emphasizes that the regulation of disposable vapes—due to concerns about youth use and environmental impact—is influencing the overall perception of THR strategies. In his speech he will elaborate how bans on disposables could lead to shifts in the market towards more environmentally friendly products, which could maintain consumer trust while addressing regulatory concerns as well as emphasize how regulatory changes affect the global market for e-cigarettes.
