Belgium Bans Vape Flavours
Belgium's ban on flavoured vapes and eLiquids, effective September 2028, is criticized by experts who fear it will hinder smoking cessation efforts. Supporters argue that flavours help adult smokers quit tobacco. The decision, labeled as scaremongering by the World Vapers' Alliance, was condemned for pushing vapers back to smoking or the black market. Evidence shows flavoured e-cigarettes aid smoking cessation, with bans potentially leading to relapses. Critics urge governments to learn from successful smoke-free models in other countries and focus on restricting youth access instead of impeding adult cessation methods. This ban risks exacerbating public health issues and undermining harm reduction efforts.
