While the regulations on e-cigarettes are close to being applied in France, we had until now certain certainties which seem to crumble with the revelations of the site " The world of tobacco". The start of a new controversy?
Recall that the European Tobacco Directive (entering into force, as such, the 20 may) also introduces new obligations to the electronic cigarette: for liquids (eg flasks not to exceed a volume of 10 ml) and devices electronic vaping (tank capacity limited to 2 ml) as in packaging (with records).
And, again, question of deadlines. Everyone had understood from reading the directive that the date triggering the compulsory manufacture of compliant products (To the new text) was the November 20, 2016.
Whereas, it seems, the Directorate General of Health seems to lean for a more restrictive interpretation and anticipates the deadline of May 20 for France. May 20 ... all this is not yet official and published, we can imagine the disaster for the actors of the category, especially the small ones. They will never have time to turn around. In addition to legal uncertainty, there are economic problems.
Obviously this information is currently to be taken with a grain of salt since it is not verified. Hoping it will stay in the hallway noise category.
