Danish flavour ban fail: nicotine restrictions backfire
Danish vaping restrictions, including a flavour ban, have not curbed youth vaping, with usage almost doubling in two years. Banned flavours are still popular, revealing the limited effectiveness of such bans. A Danish Health Authority report shows a shift from smoking to vaping, especially among young adults. Illegal markets for banned vape flavours are thriving, highlighting the failure of overregulation. Concerns are raised over proposed stricter regulations, with calls to learn from Swedish harm reduction policies. Despite intentions to reduce youth vaping, the Danish flavour ban is deemed unsuccessful, prompting reevaluation of current and future regulations by industry experts.
14.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 678,547 current smokers in Denmark.
