MPOWER \u2013 Tobacco and vaping controls<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Through HMSC Agenda 22.02.2024.pdf (<\/a>fig.gov.fk<\/a>)<\/a> we have proposed that the Falkland Islands adopt a best practice framework to assess, monitor use of tobacco products, and further strengthen legislation to extend to include new products such as electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) otherwise known as vapes. In addition, we propose that regulation further extends to vapes that do not contain nicotine as the worldwide evidence indicates that these products are marketed in such a way through a vast array of flavour profiles and colourful design to attract a youth demographic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Increased regulation around these products will help to protect current and future generations from these addictive and harmful to health products. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next steps:<\/strong> 
An ExCo paper was presented to decision makers in August 2024. The full paper and outcome can be viewed at (09) 27 August 2024 (assembly.gov.fk)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
