Vaping and youth uptake
Membership of the UKVIA is solely for those companies which maintain the highest standards of age-aware retailing. Vaping products are only for adult smokers and vapers.
Our members have a Challenge 25 policy for in-store retail, thorough training for staff and robust safety processes for online sales. The UKVIA code of conduct ensures that no products are marketed in a way that targets people under the age of 18.
We’re proud that our tough stance is protecting the industry: in 2018 a report by ASH found that youth vaping is very rare in the UK and largely confined to those who also smoke cigarettes.
The UKVIA Industry Forum is Back!
Wednesday 26th November 2025 London Marriott Hotel, Regents Park
As the government prepares to decide on the contents of the Tobacco and Vapes Bill, this year’s Forum arrives at a defining moment for the sector.
With the theme ‘The Way Forward: Changing the Vaping Mindset’ expect a powerful agenda tackling the end of disposables, global supply chain shifts and the mindset transformation needed to help the remaining six million smokers make the switch.
Attend. Sponsor. Exhibit.
Be there for the conversation that counts.
