Wat vindt u van deze concept regelgeving?
Vaping has helped me a lot in stopping with smoking actual cigarettes which in my view are way more harmful than vaping so it would be a shame if vape products would be banned from buying online. It would also just cause users to order from across the border or illegally obtaining these which might have more health implications as the substances are then not controlled by the dutch government anymore and also reduces tax income.

There are already measures in place for buying normal cigarettes and alcohol online with confirming the age of the person buying these products by checking ID's etc. both online and when delivering the products surely this can be implemented in this sphere as well instead of just an outright ban doesn't make any sense.

I see vaping as a viable option to reduce smoking and as a stepping stone to actually stopping smoking and one of the only steps which has worked for me, so please think about those repercussion properly as well.
