This petition was submitted during the 2015-2017 parliament
Rejected petition UK Government - rethink the E-Cig regulations starting May 2017.
It is proven that E-cigarettes are 95% healthier than tobacco cigarettes, they help smokers to cut down on nicotine and eventually stop with all tobacco products. These new laws make E-Cigs more expensive, less environmentally friendly and a huge reduction of quality products offered.
More details
Ahead are some of the new laws. Causing more plastic waste and less people kicking their smoking habits, causing a mass amount of strain on the NHS from cigarette inflicted health issues.
• Refill containers cannot exceed 10ml
• maximum nicotine strength of 20mg
• maximum tank capacity of 2ml

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. You could start a new petition asking for the UK Government to work with other EU member states to change the TPD, or to change the law on e-cigarettes after the UK leaves the EU.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
