Statement by T Juice regarding colourings

[goneforagasper]

Following suggestions that Red Astaire may no longer be red after TPD, I emailed Nigel at T Juice for clarification.

Here is his reply

“Product requirements 36.—
(5) Nicotine-containing liquid in an electronic cigarette or refill container—
(a) must not contain any additive referred to in regulation 16 (no vitamins, colourings or prohibited additives in tobacco products);”

The text in brackets is the name of Regulation 16. I have extracted it from the final text below:

“No vitamins, colourings or prohibited additives in tobacco products 16.—
(1) No person may produce or supply a tobacco product containing—
(a) vitamins or other additives that create the impression that a tobacco product has a health benefit or presents reduced health risks;
(b) caffeine, taurine or other additives and stimulant compounds that are associated with energy and vitality;
(c) additives which have colouring effects on emissions; or
(d) in the case of tobacco products for smoking, additives that facilitate inhalation or nicotine uptake”

As you can see above, in Regulation 16 the use of colourants is limited to the effect on emissions. None of our juice colours emissions.

The problem is that there is so much misunderstanding and misinformation about



As you can see Red Astaire is safe from regulations and will continue to be Red
