United States: Federal Approval + State Restrictions
Federal rules require FDA PMTA approval for all vaping products, with only 39 tobacco/menthol variants authorized so far. The PACT Act mandates strict shipping ID checks and bans USPS delivery. States enforce additional limits, including flavor bans, restrictions on Chinese-manufactured products, and sales of only FDA-approved items.
European Union: Harmonized TPD Standards
The revised TPD sets EU-wide limits: nicotine ≤20mg/mL, e-liquid containers ≤10mL, and mandatory CE certification + EU-CEG registration. France, UK, Belgium, and other countries have banned disposable vapes, while most prohibit non-tobacco flavors to curb youth use.
Global Compliance Basics
1. Verify regional certifications (FDA PMTA for U.S., CE/TPD for EU) before purchasing or selling.
2. Adhere to flavor and product type restrictions specific to each country/state.
3. Comply with shipping and age verification rules to avoid penalties.
2025’s regulatory focus prioritizes youth protection and product safety, with the U.S. and EU setting benchmarks for global vaping rules. Sticking to authorized products and local guidelines ensures legal compliance.
