InterTabac 2025 | Interview with German Vaping Trade Association: Opposition to Flavor and Disposable Bans as Black Market and Compliance Dominate the Agenda
During InterTabac 2025, 2Firsts spoke with the German vaping trade association (Verband des eZigarettenhandels e. V. (VdeH)). The association noted that while Germany’s market continues to grow, the black market may account for nearly half of total volume; disposables are reshaping retail channels. VdeH is firmly opposed to flavor bans and disposable bans, arguing such measures would expand the black market and drive users back to cigarettes.
