Is VEEBA Disposable E-cigarette Not Registered in the UK? MHRA Responds: It's a "Technical Error"
2FIRSTS has received an updated response from the MHRA regarding "VEEBA, a disposable product from PMI, is not registered with the MHRA".

On the evening of June 2nd, 2FIRSTS received the latest response from the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) regarding the registration status of "VEEBA," a disposable product by Philip Morris International (PMI).

 

Maria, the liaison officer from the MHRA News Center, confirmed that certain disposable VEEBA electronic cigarettes have been published by the MHRA, allowing them to be legally sold in the UK market. Their team is actively working to resolve an unexpected technical error on the public-facing page to ensure the visibility of all published products.
