The Tobacco Product Directive (TPD) is a European regulation introduced in 2014, as part of the fight against smoking. Despite strong opposition, initially from vapers' associations, Directive 2014/40/EU equates electronic cigarettes and e-liquids with tobacco products. It thus regulates the manufacture and trade of vaping products.
What the TPD imposes to professionals :
Each Member State has transposed this text into its national law. This explains the slight differences from one country to another. A revision of this directive is planned in the coming months. It could impose new limitations for some flavours or labelling. Moreover, despite the mobilisation of several associations, taxation on vaping products containing nicotine seems highly likely.
And in Switzerland ? The Tobacco Products Act (LPTab) is currently being discussed in the parliamentary chambers. The direction taken is more or less the same as for the EU.
