The idea was a good one - about political reforms that don't get the results intended by those in power

Political decisions made with good intentions often have unforeseen consequences. Government investigators are proposing to ban all flavors in e-cigarettes and e-liquids from May 2022. There are many indications that the proposal, which was made with good intentions, will not lead to any health benefits.

Stefan Mathisson runs the online magazine Vejpkollen, which covers the world of e-cigarettes and vaping in Sweden. The magazine reviews legislation, debates and highlights issues relevant to users, companies, authorities and politicians working in the field.
