IEVA Urges Spanish Government not to Ban Flavored E-Cigarettes
IEVA warns against Spain's proposed ban on flavored e-cigarettes, citing risks of black market activity and unsafe products flooding the market.

According to a report by Tobaccoreporter on May 11, the Independent European Vaping Alliance (IEVA) is urging the Spanish government not to ban flavored e-cigarettes. The organization has stated that the proposed measure could pose risks, as it may not only stimulate black market activity, but also lead to a proliferation of dangerous and non-compliant products in the market.

 

IEVA stated in a press release that "the effective ban on e-liquid in the Spanish market will lead to the flourishing of a black market for dangerous and non-compliant products.

 

Furthermore, the organization warned that this will lead to an increase in smoking rates, put over 3000 jobs at risk in the Spanish e-cigarette industry, and result in a decrease in tax revenue leading to a reduction in government income. IEVA expressed their concerns in the ongoing public consultation.

E-cigarette shops in Wisconsin, USA, see sales drop due to new regulations
Wisconsin's new vape regulations have led to a significant drop in sales and stock for vape shops. The law, which bans most vape products, has forced businesses to remove 80% of their stock. Many top sellers are now off-limits, and some customers are traveling out of state to find the products they want. Despite losing a lawsuit against the Department of Revenue, WiscoFAST continues to fight the regulations, arguing that they unfairly target small businesses.

Iowa E-Cigarette Law Challenged: Industry Claims New Rules Will Destroy the Industry and Violate FDA Enforcement Discretion
E-cigarette sellers and buyers asked the Eighth Circuit Court to keep blocking Iowa's HF 2677 bill. The bill would make all e-cigarettes sold in Iowa get FDA approval. They say the federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act blocks this law, as it steps on FDA's toes by adding penalties where FDA didn't act. If the bill goes through, businesses might close and people could lose tools to quit smoking.
