Why do some countries ban e-cigarettes or certain e-liquids?
Some countries ban vaping for fear of a new nicotine addiction epidemic or to protect state tobacco monopolies. In these regions, precaution often outweighs the reality of benefits for smokers. Sometimes, it is also a response to a lack of resources to control product quality on the market. It is a radical approach that, unfortunately, often deprives local smokers of a less toxic exit strategy.
Technically, total prohibition often encourages the emergence of a black market with unregulated products, which is much riskier for users. In Europe, standards are strict to ensure your safety. If you travel to a country where regulations are vague, remain vigilant. Remember that vaping is a transition tool: vaping will always be better than smoking, but consulting a doctor is advised to manage your cessation in all circumstances.
