CALI BAN ‘ UNJUSTIFIABLE ’
Several vape and tobacco companies have submitted a lawsuit challenging California ’ s ‘ draconian ban ’ on flavoured vape products . Senate Bill 793 was signed by Governor Gavin Newsome on August 28 . Non-profit trade association Neighborhood Market Association said that a dozen of its members will go out of business if the law takes effect . The defendants argued that California could have targeted youth use with increased enforcement and public health campaigns but instead chose to ban “ nearly every conceivable flavored tobacco product ” in an “ unjustified ” ban .
VAPORESSO ’ S SAFETY SEAL
Vaporesso has become one of the first vape brands to meet Child Resistant Certified ( CRC ) standards set by the Canadian Consumer Product Safety Act ( CCPSA ). The products the brand selected for inclusion are the ZERO and XROS CRC version on the PTF filling system range and the GTX TANK 22 CRC version compatible with the GEN S , GEN Nano , LUXE II and SWAG II mods . CRC-compliance is a federal requirement for all vape brands looking to advertise and sell products in Canada , much like the PMTA process in the US
SIX MONTHS TO SUCCESS
One in five smokers who pick up a vape successfully quit smoking within six months , according to a recent study . The study examined smoking and vaping trajectories against quit rates in the Flanders region of Belgium . Participants filled out questionnaires assessing their smoking or vaping behaviour at three stages after the purchase of their first vape . The data showed an average cigarette reduction of 53 percent , from 17 a day at the start of the study to eight after six months . Further results revealed that 18 percent of the participants had quit smoking completely by the end and another 25 percent had halved their intake .
FAKE FIND
Juul Labs helped Chinese authorities bring down a massive counterfeit operation after a producer was found to be copying their product and selling them overseas . The counterfeit operation was one of the largest caught by the US giant which continues to crack down on the production of potentially harmful takes . The company , Shenzen Kang Ergiang Electronic Company , sold the fake Juul devices and flavor pods under the name , Sourvape Technology , going on to sell $ 324,000 worth of items over 16 months starting in 2018 . The factory operator was convicted in August before being sentenced to three years in prison .
