You live in a country that officially adopts vaping as risk reduction. Instead in Italy the various governments over time have done and are doing everything to bury the sector and equate it to tobacco in order to tax and manage it (castrating and caging it) through the State Monopolies Body.

As Vapers, we Italians are almost extremists in the vaping of organic tobaccos extracted in MTL plants, but you, James, what habits and device do you have? And your compatriots?

It will be a pleasure to exchange some words and opinions with you.

Personally, I am an advocate of vaping organic tobacco extracted from MTL (Mouth-to-Lung) plants. I believe in the importance of choosing quality products and using vaping as a harm-reduction tool. Organic tobaccos provide a more natural experience and can be a preferred choice for many enthusiasts. However, I respect that individual preferences may vary, and the diversity of vaping habits and devices is what makes this community interesting.

Now, turning the attention to my compatriots, it would be great to hear from other Italian vapers about their own habits and devices. How has the government's approach to vaping influenced your choices? Have you encountered any specific challenges or found alternative ways to pursue your vaping preferences? Let's use this opportunity to exchange words and opinions, creating a supportive and informative space for discussion.

Well, just to say the latest approach of the government: a few days ago we discussed some rules, in the law of tax delegation in approval, to deny the direct purchase of vaporization products from other countries and, moreover, that purchase from stores on-National lines prohibit home delivery, but only from delivery to authorized tobacco shops, such as collection points.

Over the past 5 years we have experienced many restrictions (such as European TPD standards) and, most importantly, an increase in taxation for ready-to-use liquids, with or without nicotine, and nicotine itself.

The result is that it is increasingly taking home extraction from plant matter (especially tobacco), although it can still be considered a niche of a few people, but growing.

To describe the Italian reality the habits are very varied, both DL and MTL, between synthetics (creams, fruits and mentholates or ice) and NET.
The largest market, as I said, is more oriented to MTL, where NET distilled liquids now prevail for use with pods and pre-build coils.

There is a hard core of people from the old school who make use of regeneratable (of which a small community also uses, or exclusively, mesh genesis).
Over time, however, in this forum we find some new users (that is, who have recently stopped smoking in favor of vaping) who approach with success and satisfaction to regeneration.

We, italians, stands resisting and hoping no one break our beatiful toy, fearing to return to burn tobacco in our lung.

"We will survive".

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your concerns about the latest government approach to vaporization products. It's definitely a topic that has garnered a lot of attention and discussion in recent years. While I'm not an expert, I can certainly share some insights and personal experiences with you.

Over the past few years, there have been various restrictions and regulations imposed on vaporization products, not just in Italy but also in many other countries. The European TPD standards and increased taxation on e-liquids and nicotine have certainly had an impact on the vaping community.

In Italy, the vaping scene has evolved and diversified quite a bit. Different vaping styles like DL (Direct Lung) and MTL (Mouth to Lung) have gained popularity, and there's a wide range of e-liquid flavors available, including synthetic options like creams, fruits, menthol, and NET (Naturally Extracted Tobacco).

MTL vaping, especially with NET distilled liquids, has become quite prevalent, especially among users who prefer pods and pre-built coils. However, there's still a dedicated group of "old school" vapers who enjoy using rebuildable setups, including mesh genesis. It's great to see that even newcomers to vaping are finding success and satisfaction with regeneration techniques.

As a London vaper myself, I understand the concerns about potential changes and restrictions that might affect our vaping experience. It's always a worry when we feel like our beloved hobby could be compromised. However, it's important to stay informed and engage in discussions with fellow vapers, advocacy groups, and policymakers to voice our opinions and protect our interests.

We've come a long way in embracing vaping as a potentially less harmful alternative to traditional smoking, and it's crucial that we continue to advocate for sensible regulations that balance public health concerns with the rights and choices of individuals.

Remember, we're a community, and together we can support each other and work towards preserving our vaping culture. Let's hope for the best and keep enjoying our vaping journey!
