Michael Landl, director of the vaping advocacy group World Vapers Alliance, celebrated the victory to save flavours: “Today, we celebrate a huge victory in our fight against smoking. Flavours are a determining factor in helping smokers quit. If this ban had been adopted, 150,000 people in Sweden – almost the population of Upsala – could have been pushed back to smoking. Vapers, local activists and the WVA team have done tremendous work to make their voices heard. We made politicians finally listen!”

The World Vapers Alliance says it has been actively opposing the flavour ban in Sweden.
