The Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) is a regulation used to regulate and supervise product manufacturing, sales, display (product design, packaging, etc.) and all tobacco and tobacco-related products (such as electronic cigarette products). At present, in most EU member states, e-cigarettes are regulated and managed as recreational consumer products. From 2016, e-cigarettes and related products will be regulated by Article 20 of TPD. The Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) is ostensibly designed for the smooth operation of tobacco products in the international market. In fact, many provisions of the TPD are designed to reduce the attractiveness of tobacco products and achieve a higher standard of protection for human health.
