Vaping products containing nicotine are regulated under the Tobacco and Related Products Regulations 2016 (TRPR) and need to be notified to the MHRA and comply to certain standards (for example, nicotine content is limited to 20 milligrams per millilitre (mg/mL)) before they can be legally sold in the UK.
Vaping products that do not contain nicotine come under the General Product Safety Regulations 2005, enforced by local authority Trading Standards departments.
The UK vaping sector is entering a defining year. With the Vape Product Duty approaching, new rules under the Tobacco and Vapes Act, and with further pressure coming down the track around flavours, packaging, displays, waste and advertising, the industry needs a fair hearing – and a clear plan.
The UKVIA Vaping Industry Forum 2026 will bring together industry leaders, policymakers, government agencies, regulators, enforcement bodies, public health voices and consumer representatives for a practical, solutions-focused day on the future of vaping.
The event will combine expert guidance on the regulatory road ahead with collaborative sessions on how responsible businesses can protect vaping’s role in harm reduction, tackle the illicit market, challenge misinformation, and ensure the voice of adult vapers is heard in future policymaking.
