It is with tweezers that we reveal to you information published on " eGarage“, A German site dedicated to e-cigarettes. According to them, the ban on advertising on vaping could well be the subject of a discreet and silent burial.
TWO CONTRADICTORY RUMORS… WHAT TO BELIEVE?
Like much of Germany, politicians have just returned from vacation and at the same time revived the legislative machine. The ban on e-cigarette and tobacco advertising was on the table before the holidays and with the return to school is now the subject of many rumors.
This amendment to the Tobacco Law (Bundestag 18 / 8962) was very vigorously disputed by some people simply stating " contrary to the freedom of thought". In recent months, the number of opponents to it has increased, whether in the food industry and the advertising industry through the tobacco industry and that of the e-cigarette which are the first concerned. .
It is besides the industry of the vape which would have the most to lose in the history because as announces the famous adage: " Who does not advertise is quickly forgotten »And for new innovative products such as e-cigarettes, a ban would prove catastrophic.
According to early rumors, a minister was quoted as saying the ban on advertising is on the table“, So far nothing very surprising. But more interesting, according to a second source the public hearing of the committee responsible for the Food and Agriculture Law Committee of the Bundestag would have simply been canceled. According to eGarage, this is what the committee secretariat would have succinctly stated yesterday:
« On September 19, 2016, no public hearing on the “Tobacco Products Law Amendment Bill” (BT-Drs. 18/8962) is scheduled in the Food and Agriculture Committee."
While the Minister of the Economy and several political factions have openly opposed a ban on advertising, "eGarage" deduces that it could well be the subject of a discreet and silent burial.
