Italian Finance Minister: E-cigarette License Extended to 4 Years, New Online Sales Regulations Coming
Italian Minister of Economy extends e-cigarettee-liquid sales authorization from two to four years, prohibits online nicotine sales starting 2025.

According to Svapo Magazine reported on October 16th, Italian Minister of Economy and Finance Giancarlo Giorgetti announced at a press conference on the year-end financial plan that the authorization period for the sale of e-cigarette liquid and processed tobacco will be extended from two years to four years.


From January 1, 2025, all newly issued sales licenses will have a validity period of four years, according to the new regulations. Similarly, existing licenses set to expire before this date will also be extended for the same period.


In addition, the e-cigarette industry in Italy will continue to undergo reforms. In addition to extending licensing periods, online sales of nicotine-containing products will be banned starting in 2025. The issue of online sales of nicotine-free products is still unclear and may be further clarified by the Customs Agency and the State Monopoly Agency (Agenzia Dogane e Monopoli).
