How strict e-cig regulations are forcing ex-smokers back to combustible cigarettes

Every day we’re helping people quit tobacco with e-cigs, but strict, changing policies are unraveling those efforts, making e-cigs harder to purchase and limiting the types of flavors and strengths that are available. While there’s a push to keep e-cigs out of the hands of youth, over-regulation is forcing vapers back to combustible cigarettes. 

E-cigs are becoming harder to buy

Whether you shop for gear in-person or prefer the choices available when you buy e-cigs online, ongoing regulations are making it harder for responsible, adult vapers to grab hold of their life-changing products. On one hand, e-cig vendors may be struggling to fill their inventory, with many vape manufacturers awaiting Federal and Drug Administration (FDA) approval on their products and warehouses experiencing shipping delays because of COVID-19. On the other hand, state laws and PACT Act restrictions are becoming challenging for businesses to navigate, which build up to create problems for those who are reliant on e-cigs to keep them smoke-free. 

Buy e-cigs online at Vape-ecigs.com, as we only work with vape brands that have pending FDA approvals, meaning all of the devices and e-liquids in the store’s inventory are committed to remaining on the market.

Limits flavors and nicotine concentrations levels

While some ex-smokers transition to tobacco or menthol products to mimic their past smoking experiences, there are some that also want to reinvent their lifestyle by selecting a product with a new and improved flavor. Limiting access to flavored products caters to a small group of consumers, resulting in a return to combustible cigarettes for many users. That said, limiting nicotine concentration levels also has negative side effects, as the advantage of transitioning to e-cigs from combustible cigarettes gives ex-smokers more time to wean themselves off nicotine, with the power to lower levels over time instead of going cold turkey. With fewer nicotine strengths on the market, it will be harder for ex-smokers to wave goodbye to nicotine for good, and if their needed strength isn’t available at all, they will likely return to traditional cigarettes to avoid nicotine withdrawal.
