The EU Tobacco Directive TPD (2014/40/EC) came into force in May 2014, and the two-year transition period has ended. EU member states will complete and implement the legal procedures related to the new directive in May this year. At that time, all new tobacco products entering the EU market will be controlled. Electronic cigarette products exported to the EU market must comply with the requirements of the TPD Directive, or they will be banned, confiscated or returned, which will bring huge losses to electronic cigarette manufacturers. Therefore, how to make electronic cigarette products comply with the EU TPD directive to avoid losses has become a problem that manufacturers must face.
