"BE VIGILANT WITH A COMPANY THAT WORKS IN A VERY SUBTLE MANNER ..."
No surprise on the status of vaping in Belgium! The e-cigarette scares the authorities and pseudonym health experts, which poses a real problem in terms of reducing the risks of smoking. However, from the month of August, the e-cigarette Juul can be marketed, in any case what the recent list of e-cigarettes authorized by the FPS Economy announces.
Already available in many countries such as the United States, France or the United Kingdom, the Juul e-cigarette will be offered in a classic European version (18 mg of nicotine) in Belgium. All legal obligations are respected, according to the FPS Economy.
Yet some experts are worried. Half of Juul's subscribers on Twitter are minors Stefaan Hendrickx of the Flemish Institute for Well-Being.
« In the United States, we are in the process of analyzing whether Juul is not targeting its advertisements on young people via social networks. If the company starts selling its products here, it will be necessary to be vigilant. They work in a very subtle way, using influencers.« The fear is that these e-cigarettes are for teens a stepping stone to traditional cigarettes.
