European e-cigarette association urges Spain to reconsider ban proposal

Jul.11.2022
European e-cigarette association asks Spanish government to reconsider ban proposal on e-cigarette stores, citing legal and economic concerns.

The European Electronic Cigarette Association is urging the Spanish government to reconsider its proposal to ban electronic cigarette shops.


According to the association's website, the Spanish government has proposed the banning and closure of e-cigarette shops throughout Spain. They have also suggested legislation that would give control of the entire e-cigarette business to large tobacco companies. These measures not only violate the regulations about free competition and the free movement of goods in the European Union, but could also result in unemployment issues.
