Youth Access Prevention pledge

As members of the Vapour Products Association of South Africa (VPASA):

  • We at Vape King believe that our products are only suitable for adult smokers who are looking for a less harmful alternative.
  • We at Vape King commit to NOT sell to individuals who are under the age of 18.
  • We at Vape King commit to train our employees to ensure appropriate age verification at all points of sales.
  • We at Vape King commit that to ensure contractually delivery companies do not deliver electronic nicotine and non-nicotine delivery systems (ENNDS) to under-age persons.
  • We at Vape King are in favour of regulations that prohibit the sale of ENNDS to anyone under the age of 18. We are in favour of regulation that will have tough penalties for those who do not adhere to this position of ‘no under-age sales.’
  • We at Vape King recognise as an industry the growth in social media platforms as the preferred means of communication with our consumers, and to this end, care and due diligence is observed to ensure we do not promote vaping and/or ENNDS to under-age persons. We use these platforms to support adult smokers who are looking for a less harmful alternative to smoking.

From 23 March 2021, we as members of the Vapour Products Association of South Africa (VPASA) pledge to support the Youth Access Prevention (YAP) campaign by displaying this pledge, YAP stickers for all our consumers to see; posting on our social media platforms materials and content to this effect.
