Recently, according to the Truth Report of the Communist Youth League, the State Standardization Bureau of Belarus has banned the sale of 47 types of e-cigarettes in the market. Media reports cited the information from the Gomel Branch of the State Standardization Bureau of Belarus, stating that after regulatory measures in January and February of this year, it was found that some e-cigarettes being sold in the Gomel market did not meet legislative requirements.
According to a statement released by the news department, the ban on the 47 e-cigarette series is due to their potential and evident health risks.
The e-cigarettes with problems include e-liquids that contain excessive nicotine (exceeding the limit of 20mg per milliliter) and e-liquids that have five times the legal capacity (exceeding the 2ml limit). In addition, some e-cigarette products lack expiration date information, usage restriction warnings, disease contraindications, and information on potential illnesses that may be caused. Some e-cigarette products even fail to provide relevant documents on product compliance and safety. "Using these e-cigarettes will directly threaten the health of consumers," the Belarusian State Standardization Agency emphasized.
The non-compliant products have been taken off the shelves and administrative penalties have been imposed on the sellers.
