Rejected petition Repeal TPD legislation for sensible discussion with vape shops & people who vape

Everyone, vapours or not, who hear about the TPD legislation all agree that it is not needed and doesn't help the people who benefit from quitting smoking.

More details

I help run and manage two vape shops in the Manchester area. Each time I read the TPD legislation I find it makes my head spin by how it does nothing but benefit those who would like vaping to end in the UK.

This petition was rejected

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

The issue you raise is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament. The Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) is an EU Directive and the UK has not yet left the EU. You could start a new petition asking for the UK Government to work with other EU member states to change the TPD.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
