Tobacco Products Directive (TPD)

The Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) is a set of rules adopted by the European Union in 2014. These rules are designed to control how tobacco products are made, packaged, advertised, and sold in the EU. The TPD includes guidelines on what can be in tobacco products, how they should be labeled, how they can be promoted, and the sale of electronic cigarettes.

Due to the use of nicotine in vape products and e-liquids, it also falls under the TPD Directive, since any products not submitted and approved by the MHRA would be illegal to sell.

The TPD sets out specific regulations for electronic cigarettes, including limits on nicotine content, requirements for child-proof packaging, and restrictions on advertising and promotion.

All GHOST® Vapes are TPD compliant, since have been submitted to the MHRA for notification and have passed and declared TPD compliant. We possess all the necessary documents and certificates for each of our products.
