VapeAccess Blog
Quick answer: Treat vape websites as risk signals first. A compliant information page should be source-led, non-promotional and clear about advice boundaries.
What good pages include
- Quick answer with source context.
- Clear distinction between information and advice.
- No product recommendation language.
- Last reviewed date.
What risky pages include
- Buy now buttons.
- Flavour ranking tables.
- Affiliate links.
- Claims that ordinary retail supply is legal.
Decision rule
If a page is trying to create urgency to buy, it is not the same as a legal-access or health-information guide.
