The World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA), a global vaping consumer advocacy group, has great concern for the Hungarian Government’s draft decree which aims to amend the current regulation of nicotine pouches and vaping.

The proposed regulations, if enacted, would introduce restrictions that may hinder access to safer alternatives for smokers and harm reduction options, according to an emailed press release.

Michael Landl, director of the World Vapers’ Alliance, said, “While it’s important to ensure the safety and proper labelling of nicotine products, it’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.”

The proposed amendments, with a maximum nicotine content of 17mg per consumption unit reflect an approach that may inadvertently limit the appeal of nicotine pouches to smokers seeking alternatives.
