“The UK government is reviewing how the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR) and the Standardised Packaging of Tobacco Products Regulations 2015 (SPoT) are achieving their objectives. The public is being invited to make comments and it has been welcomed by the UK Vape Industry Association (UKVIA). “We’re asking for feedback on the effectiveness of the legislation in achieving its objectives along with any unintended consequences that may have occurred. TRPR and SPoT require the Secretary of State for Health and Social Care to complete a review of the legislation within 5 years of the regulations coming into force. This is known as a post implementation review (PIR). We expect a wide range of industry, charities, academic researchers and members of the public to respond to this consultation,” says the UK government. UKVIA hailed the announcement with its director general, John Dunne commenting: “The UKVIA has been preparing for the consultation for several months and we will be engaging with politicians prior to the review to share our vision for the future of British vaping.”
