NU VAPE, a leader in the vaping industry known for its premium, eco-friendly vaping products, today voiced concerns over the potential ban on disposable vapes and the unintended increase in black market activities it could cause. Founded on principles of innovation and commitment to healthier alternatives for smokers, NU VAPE brings attention to the broader implications of such bans on public health and consumer safety.
The Concerns Over a Disposable Vape Ban
In light of the growing discussions on the ban of disposable vapes across the UK, NU VAPE, under the guidance of CEO Nigel Quine, a recognized authority in the vaping sector, encourages policymakers and the public to consider the far-reaching consequences of such regulatory actions. Quine, who co-founded both the UK Trade Association (IBVTA) and the EU Trade Association (IEVA), has a long history of engaging in vape-related legislation discussions at both the National and European levels. His work has significantly contributed to the development of the European quality standard for vape products (CEN), aiming to ensure the highest safety and quality standards in the industry.
Quine’s extensive experience, including founding a pioneering cig-a-like brand in 2010 and leading a company that set compliance benchmarks until his exit in 2022, positions him uniquely to comment on the risks associated with a disposable vape ban. Such bans, while well-intentioned, risk bolstering a black market devoid of quality control and age restrictions, thus endangering users and undermining objectives to curb underage vaping.
NU VAPE's Commitment to Safety and Sustainability
Dedicated to offering sustainable and superior vaping solutions, NU VAPE aims to assist adult smokers in finding a reliable and environmentally responsible path away from smoking. The company champions products that reduce waste and offer an economical way to enjoy a broad flavor spectrum, all while upholding safety and quality.
"Our mission extends beyond aiding smokers in their cessation journey; we strive for a vaping experience that is safe, enjoyable, and broadly accessible," remarked Nigel Quine, CEO of NU VAPE. "Regulations should advance harm reduction and protect consumer choice, rather than inadvertently pushing individuals towards the unregulated, potentially hazardous alternatives."
The Crucial Role of Specialized Vape Stores
The press release also highlights the indispensable role of specialised vape stores in providing expert guidance and support for individuals transitioning from smoking. These establishments are fundamental in educating consumers to make choices that are informed and tailored to their needs.
A Call for Considered Regulation
NU VAPE and Nigel Quine call for a collaborative approach among regulators, public health bodies, and the vaping community. This partnership aims to create policies that effectively address underage vaping and environmental concerns without propelling consumers towards unregulated markets.
