Building Better Regulation Together

South Africa has an opportunity to develop legislation that protects young people, supports adult smokers looking to quit ci******es, and tackles the illicit market. Good policy can achieve all three.

In April, the United Kingdom Parliament had a second reading (the general debate on all aspects of the bill) of the to***co and v**es bill. After passing that stage, the bill moves to Committee stage where it will undergo line by line scrutiny.

Protecting Consumers Through Standards

Good regulation isn't only about restrictions—it's also about product quality and safety. VPASA continues participating in standards development to help support safer and higher-quality products for smokers looking for a less-harmful alternative.

Why Flavours Matter

Flavours aren't just about preference—they're one of the reasons many adult smokers successfully switch away from ci******es. The goal should be preventing youth uptake while preserving options that help adults leave smoking behind.

Public Spaces: What's the Debate?

Another key discussion is whether va**ng should automatically be treated the same as smoking in every public space. The conversation isn't about removing rules—it's about ensuring regulations reflect the differences between products!

There are lots of misconceptions about e-ci******es and va**ng. Here are some of the most common myths, and the facts based on scientific evidence and data.

Why Product Displays Matter

Imagine walking into a store and not being able to see what products are available. Responsible product displays help adult consumers compare products while strict age verification protects minors. The challenge is balancing visibility with responsibility.

Plans to introduce a display ban and plain packaging for va**ng products have drawn fierce criticism from independent retailers and the va**ng industry, who warn the measures risk fuelling the illicit market

13/08/2026

Why Information Matters

If adult smokers don't know less harmful alternatives exist, they can't make informed choices. One clause of the Bill could unintentionally prevent educational communication about va**ng to adult smokers. Finding the right balance is critical.

Do you think adult smokers deserve access to factual information?

Youth Protection Comes First

Protecting young people isn't optional—it's essential. VPASA supports strict age verification, responsible retail practices and marketing rules that prevent youth access while ensuring adult smokers can still access accurate information about alternatives.

Should Va**ng Be Treated the Same as Smoking?

One of the biggest questions before Parliament is whether va**ng and smoking should be regulated exactly the same. While both contain ni****ne, they don't present the same level of risk. Smarter regulation recognises these differences while continuing to protect young people.

Learn why differentiation matters.

Parliament Signals a New Direction

Parliament is expected to resume processing the bill soon with the next step being clause-by-clause deliberations. This is where MPs will review each provision individually and decide what should stay, change or be removed. It's one of the most important stages of the legislative process.

Follow VPASA for updates as the Bill progresses.

Parliament is the national legislature (law-making body) of South Africa. As such, one of its major functions is to pass new laws, to amend existing laws, and to repeal or abolish (cancel) old laws. This function is guided by the Constitution of South Africa, which governs and applies to all law and...

The Work Continues

Progress has been made, but there is still work ahead. VPASA will continue advocating for legislation that protects young people, tackles illicit trade, supports responsible businesses, and preserves access to less harmful alternatives for adult smokers.
