Numerous research has shown that vaping is <a href=\"https:\/\/pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/35718259\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">not a gateway to smoking<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, the Department of Health proposes stricter measures on vaping, including flavour bans, higher taxation on liquids, a ban on disposable vapes, etc. All those initiated restrictions would target adults who smoke and have an opportunity to quit through vaping as a significantly less harmful alternative.<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, it is crucial that the vapers in Ireland speak up and let policymakers in Ireland know how vaping changed their lives and why stealing their adult choice will have a detrimental effect on public health.<\/p>\n<p>The due date for the consultation is the 5th of January, after which the consultation report will be prepared based on the responses.
