The legislation is in the final stage and the minister will seek cabinet approval to ban the sale of electronic cigarettes to children under 18 at the beginning of next year.
Ireland has the highest rate of e-cigarette use in the European Union at 7%, compared to the EU average of 2%.
The article reports that Donald Trump plans to limit the types of retailers that are allowed to sell e-cigarette products, with the goal of reducing the number of e-cigarette shops.
He also plans to curb advertising of nicotine inhalation products near schools, which will also apply to many other places frequently visited by children and adolescents. Advertising of electronic cigarettes and CBD oil will also be prohibited on public transportation.
According to a source, the purpose of this is to restrict children's exposure to commercial messages promoting the purchase and use of "normalized or glamorized" e-cigarettes.
