Hello Bigboss!! In this article, we will share news about Vape Regulation in Belgium.

In Indonesia, the Vape market has started to grow and more and more people are switching from cigarette products to vape products. Therefore, the government in Indonesia has created regulations regarding the use of vape products. Similarly, other countries, such as Belgium, also have similar regulations, but the regulations governing vapes in Belgium are still unclear.

The laws governing the use of electronic cigarettes in Belgium are considered too vague. The Public Health Institute, Sciensano, stated that currently, the regulations only apply to the nicotine content in e-liquids. Meanwhile, other substances are not explicitly prohibited and are often found in e-liquids.

“These (other substances) are nicotine impurities, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and flavor enhancers diacetyl and acetyl propionyl. The latter substances are safe in food but can be harmful if inhaled for a long period,” said Sophia Barhdadi, a researcher at Sciensano.

In total, the institute analyzed 246 e-liquids from before (2013-2016) and after (2017-2018) the implementation of the revised European Tobacco Product Directive (TPD) and the implementation of the Royal Decree (RD) dated October 28, 2016.

“More foreign substances were found in e-liquids sold online. The e-liquids we bought at official vape stores were of better quality,” said Barhdadi.

Nevertheless, Sciensano showed that the 2016 Royal Decree improved the quality of e-liquids. Improvements were also found in providing more accurate nicotine information on labels, the absence of volatile organic compounds (up from 10 percent in 2016), and the reduction of other substances such as caffeine and flavor enhancers.

So, that's the news about Vape Regulation in Belgium. Of course, if we return to our home country, Indonesia, there are already many laws regulated, unlike in Belgium.
