Protection of minors at Vapepuff.de - Our responsibility
At Vapepuff.de, we attach great importance to the protection of minors and adhere strictly to the legal regulations. To ensure the safety and protection of young people, we are not allowed to offer our e-cigarettes and accessories to anyone under the age of 18. In this article, we would like to explain why this law was introduced and how we implement it.
Why does the law exist?
The legal regulation that has extended the protection of minors to e-cigarettes and similar products serves to protect children and young people. In Europe, it has been prohibited to sell or supply e-cigarettes and related products to persons under the age of 18 since April 1, 2016. This regulation was introduced to ensure that young people do not gain unwanted access to such products.
When did the law come into force?
The law amending the Youth Protection Act was passed by the Federal Cabinet in January 2016 and published on March 10, 2016. This regulation has been in force since April 1, 2016 and applies throughout Europe.
Who does the law apply to at Vapepuff.de?
The ban on selling e-cigarettes and related products to people under the age of 18 applies to both retailers and online retailers. All companies in the e-cigarette sector are therefore legally obliged to check the age of their customers in order to comply with the legal requirements.
How is the age check carried out?
Age verification takes place in several steps:
- For new customers: Please enter your ID card details once during the registration process.
- For existing customers: Enter your ID card details during the ordering process for your next order.
We strive to make this process as smooth as possible so that your shopping at Vapepuff.de remains pleasant and uncomplicated. If you have any questions or uncertainties, please do not hesitate to contact us at any time.
Yours sincerely,
Your team from Vapepuff.de
