PDNW Warns EU: Vape and Nicotine Prohibition Will Hand Market to Criminals
Prohibition does not remove demand for vapes or nicotine products — it hands the market to criminals. When legal access is restricted, consumers often turn to unregulated channels where product safety, age controls and tax revenue disappear. The result is weaker oversight, stronger illicit trade and fewer realistic routes away from combustible cigarettes. Effective nicotine policy should regulate safer alternatives proportionately, not push them underground.
