More and more people are asking questions about the safety of vaping products, so I want to answer your questions by sharing with you some interesting views on vaping compared to smoking.

The UK Health Minister estimates that e-cigarettes are at least 95% less harmful than smoking. I believe we can trust the UK government, however, recent press articles have raised legitimate issues about the safety of some vaping products.

Indeed, there are flavouring compositions that can release harmful chemicals into the vapour. A lot of US manufacturers use food flavourings, of which diacetyl is a common ingredient, for the preparation of E-liquids. In the EU however, diacetyl is on a list of banned compounds for E-Liquids that is part of the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD).

The Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) has created a list of banned compounds and emission testing protocols that we follow carefully for the creation of oure-liquid formulations:

• Our scientific team review all compounds and their respective concentrations contributing to the toxicity or general harmfulness of a mixture disclosed in the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) of our suppliers.
• We use this information to calculate safe levels of inclusion of, for example, certain flavouring components into an E-liquid, ensuring the final product is non-toxic.
• We send samples to independent laboratories that perform emission testing and HPLC analysis to ensure the safety of our e-liquids.
• All of our nicotine containing products comply with the TPD.
• All of our non-nicotine containing products are GPSR compliant.In fact, we have had all of our non-nicotine containing products tested in the same way as our TPD compliant products and they all passed.
