This caused a real mess here in Australia. Organised crime stepped in to consolidate a lucrative black market, exacerbated by already high excise taxes on tobacco products. I suspect the same will happen in Belgium -- the euphoria will be short lived and punctuated with a huge increase in street violence surrounding anybody who sells tobacco products. What you are unlikely to see is any decrease in the availability of vapes.
