Why will eliquid bottle sizes be limited to 10ml?

[Tom Jacbobs]

Hi all. I am relatively new to vaping and have come across new laws stating that there will be a limit to eliquid bottle sizes to 10ml. Most VG stuff are sold in 30ml bottles. I would image that everyone is going to be resorting to carry loads of loose bottles about - bit like loose change?
Why limit the size???

Read up on the TPD. All is explained there.

In a nutshell, the TPD are trying to make things as awkward as possible for the vaping industry in hopes that people give up and go back to smoking. The tobacco industry has lost an enormous amount of money because of vaping, and the tax on cigarettes was a massive government income aswell. On top of that the pharmaceutical companies are losing money from cessation products such as nicotine gum and patches.

They want people to smoke but they can't just ban vaping because there is no proof that vaping is actually harmful.

Imagine if it was the other way around and smokers were only able to buy one or two cigarettes at a time... haha

if they really wanted to reduce smoking levels all they have to do is sell cartons of 200 only £70-£100 a carton that would waken a lot of people up

2,800,000 vapers iirc.

Average pack of 17 cigs - £8

If the average Vaper who did smoke, smoked 17 a day...

£22,400,000 per day, of which iirc 66-67% is Duty & Tax.

£14,784,000 per day in lost revenue.

£5,396,160,000 per year in revenue down the pan.

That's enough to pay the UK national debt 3 times over, with change left over to buy an island or two!
