UKVIA and IBVTA Clash over UK Retail License System
UK e-cigarette industry divided on retail license system for combating youth vaping; IBVTA opposes, UKVIA proposes fines & licenses.

During a conversation with the Independent British Vape Trade Association (IBVTA), a 2FIRSTS reporter based in the UK learned that there is significant disagreement between IBVTA and the UK Vaping Industry Association (UKVIA) regarding the UK's retail licensing system for electronic cigarettes.


The UKVIA is calling for action against unethical retailers who sell e-cigarettes to children and young people. They believe that a range of tough measures should be taken, including fines of £10,000 (approximately 80,000 RMB) and a UK retail license system.


The IBVTA opposes the retail licensing system in the UK and argues that there is currently no retail licensing system for the sale of cigarettes in the country, therefore this type of system should not be imposed on new tobacco products.
