Reverse the EU TPD (tobacco products directive) act in the E-cigarettes industry
The TPD act came into effect in May 2017. Since then, businesses in the UK have suffered due to maximum tank sizes of 2ml AND a maximum 10ml bottle size for nicotine containing eliquid.
A general survey of customers has revealed that more and more E-cigarette users are going online to websites based outside of the EU to obtain non-TPD products such as 6ml tanks and larger bottles of nicotine containing eliquid. This is having a damaging effect on one of the UK's fastest growing industries, putting the jobs of thousands in needless jeopardy. More and more people are turning to e-cigarettes as an alternative to quit smoking and are being limited to options available to them.

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
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, and/or to change UK law on tobacco products after the UK leaves the EU.
