Recent statements by EU officials allege that \u201cvapes lure kids,\u201d that industry is \u201cmanipulating children,\u201d and that products are shaped like cartoon characters or candy. Those are serious accusations. So, let\u2019s ask serious questions: Where have cartoon-style products been found, and who is responsible for them?<\/p><p>To be clear, <span style=\"color: #00bb31; font-weight: bold;\">JTI does not manufacture, distribute, or market such devices<\/span>. It is true that authorities across Europe have seized illicit and non-compliant disposable vape products featuring cartoon imagery and confectionery branding. These cases demonstrate the multiple realities in today\u2019s marketplace: while legal manufacturers operate responsibly under strict regulatory frameworks and internal policies, illegal actors \u2013 often operating outside the EU regulatory perimeter \u2013 are able to evade rules and target youth.<\/p><p>The fight against illegal trade can only be won when all parties \u2013 governments and industry \u2013 unite in a strong, coordinated partnership. Our collaboration with international law enforcement organizations proves the power of open, proactive relationships in disrupting illegal supply chains. Better regulation remains the most effective weapon in this battle \u2013 but only if it is backed up with effective enforcement. Preventing youth access to tobacco and nicotine products requires effective regulation, industry compliance, and enforcement.<\/p><p>Europe\u2019s tobacco and nicotine markets are among the most strictly-regulated worldwide. Responsible companies operate fully within this framework, and we support rigorous enforcement to ensure a level playing field.<\/p><p>This includes respecting:<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9bf6043 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9bf6043\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<ul><li style=\"color: #00bb31; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">age-gating requirements on consumer access;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color: #00bb31; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">restrictions or prohibitions on sponsorship and advertising;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color: #00bb31; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">product standards and packaging requirements under the TPD;<\/span><\/li><li style=\"color: #00bb31; text-align: left;\"><span style=\"color: black;\">and digital marketing controls, including geofencing and verification protocols.<\/span><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0967780 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"0967780\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-833441a elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"833441a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><strong>JTI\u2019s Global Marketing Principles &amp; Global Marketing Procedures<\/strong><\/p><p>Our <a style=\"color: #ffffff !important; font-weight: bold; text-decoration: none;\" href=\"https:\/\/www.jti.com\/en\/our-business\/our-marketing-principles\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Global Marketing Principles \u2192<\/a> ensure we market responsibly and consistently to existing adult consumers.

Importantly, JTI has never been prosecuted for marketing to minors.<\/p><p>In the modern era, trust and reputation are the currency of business. Lose them fast, recover them slowly\u2026sometimes never. No credible company can afford to gamble with trust \u2013 nor should public institutions.

Protecting youth and maintaining public trust is a shared mission. Let\u2019s meet it with facts, accountability, and collaboration \u2013 rather than throwing accusations around like spaghetti and see what sticks to the wall.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3948f63 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"3948f63\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><a style=\"font-size: 13px; line-height: 15px; display: inline-block;\" href=\"https:\/\/harris-sliwoski.com\/blog\/fda-declares-54-of-vapes-illegal-what-importers-must-know-now\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/>1.
