Excessive Regulation in Hungary

The World Vapers’ Alliance (WVA), “a leading global vaping consumer advocacy group”, has expressed its deep reservations over the Hungarian Government’s draft Decree which aims to amend the current regulation of nicotine pouches and vaping.

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 “may inadvertently limit the appeal of nicotine pouches to smokers seeking alternatives.”

The amendments, which target unit packet definitions, nicotine amounts, and labelling requirements, could impose unwarranted restrictions on vaping products.
