从2016年5月起，欧盟引入了烟草产品指令（TPD）法规，其中包括对广告的限制以及电子烟产品的新安全和标签标准。这是第一个规范电子烟销售和营销的超国家政策。本研究从参与烟草和电子烟政策和实施的利益相关者的角度探讨了TPD及其在威尔士，苏格兰和英格兰的实施情况。半结构化的定性访谈完成了12个利益相关者从政府和第三部门组织在英国参与烟草控制政策的制定过程中，和贸易标准官员从13个英国地方当局。按主题分析数据，并对子样本进行双重编码。利益相关者对电子烟持有不同的看法，认识到产品和新政策行动的潜在好处和危害。尽管如此，大多数人认为TPD是对电子烟进行监管的积极一步。尽管利益相关者强调了为规避限制而进行的产品调整以及对非尼古丁产品缺乏控制，但各国的合规性都很高。预算和人员配置的限制也意味着宣传新措施和实施变革的能力有限。这导致了行业代表的空缺，他们在帮助零售商准备采取新措施方面发挥了重要作用。技术和产品开发政策的推出在很大程度上得到了积极的评价，并得到了有效的执行。然而，工业界对新措施的宣传作出的贡献以及缺乏有效宣传所需的资源，可能导致了条例中的广泛创新。虽然在很大程度上被认为是积极的，但也提出了对设备法规的一些改进。
From May 2016, the European Union introduced the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) regulations, which included restrictions to advertising and new safety and labeling standards for e-cigarette products. This represented the first supranational policy regulating e-cigarette sales and marketing. This study explores perceptions of TPD and its implementation in Wales, Scotland and England, from perspectives of stakeholders involved in tobacco and e-cigarette policy and implementation in each nation. Semi-structured qualitative interviews were completed with 12 stakeholders from government and third sector organizations in the UK involved in tobacco control policy-making processes, and Trading Standards Officers from 13 UK local authorities. Data were analyzed thematically and a sub-sample double-coded. Stakeholders held varying views of e-cigarettes, recognizing potential benefits and harms of both the products and the new policy actions. Nevertheless, most perceived TPD to be a positive step in introducing regulation for e-cigarettes. Compliance was perceived as high across nations, although stakeholders highlighted product adaptations to circumvent restrictions, and absence of controls on non-nicotine products. Budgetary and staffing limitations also meant that capacity to communicate new measures, and enforce change, was limited. This led to a gap occupied by industry representatives, who played a substantial role in preparing retailers for adoption of new measures. TPD policy roll-out was largely perceived positively and as having been effectively implemented. However, contribution of industry to communication of new measures and absence of resourcing for effective communication perhaps introduced widespread innovations within regulations. While largely viewed positively, some refinements to device regulations were proposed.
