The proposed regulations, if enacted, would introduce restrictions that may hinder access to safer alternatives for smokers and harm reduction options.<\/h4>\n<p>Commenting on the Hungarian proposals, Michael Landl, Director of the World Vapers&#8217; Alliance, said: \u201c<i>While it&#8217;s important to ensure the safety and proper labelling of nicotine products, it&#8217;s equally crucial to avoid excessive regulation that could impede the availability of harm reduction products for smokers looking to transition away from combustible cigarettes<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The proposed draft Decree amendments contain a stipulation for the maximum nicotine content to be limited to 17 mg per consumption unit. This, the WVA says, reflects an approach that \u201c<i>may inadvertently limit the appeal of nicotine pouches to smokers seeking alternatives<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201c<i>Moreover<\/i>,\u201d the organisation adds, \u201c<i>the WVA expresses concerns about the potential implications of the draft Decree&#8217;s proposed modifications to vaping product regulations. The amendments, which target unit packet definitions, nicotine amounts, and labelling requirements, could impose unwarranted restrictions on vaping products.<\/i><\/p>\n<p>Read the full text <a href=\"https:\/\/www.planetofthevapes.co.uk\/news\/vaping-news\/2023-08-16_excessive-regulation-in-hungary.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Vapers&#8217; Alliance (WVA), \u201ca leading global vaping consumer advocacy group\u201d, has expressed its deep reservations over the Hungarian Government&#8217;s draft Decree which aims to amend the current regulation of nicotine pouches and vaping.
