Italy's E-Cigarette Regulations: Online Domestic Sales Allowed
A report on e-cigarette regulation in Italy, covering all aspects from product restrictions to taxation. Italy softened e-cig regulations due to COVID-19.

The report titled "E-Cigarette Regulation Report: Online Domestic Sales Allowed in Italy" has been added to the database of ResearchAndMarkets.com, providing a detailed overview of the latest regulatory system in Italy. The report covers all aspects including product and age restrictions, public usage and notification, advertising, labeling and packaging, as well as taxation.


The Italian government has taken a proactive stance towards reducing the harm caused by tobacco, relaxing various stringent restrictions put in place by the previous parliament, such as allowing the online sale of electronic cigarette products. Nevertheless, Italy remains one of the countries with the strictest regulatory systems in Europe.


In 2020, Italy faced a severe outbreak of COVID-19, which led local governments to implement some of the strictest measures in the world. Most commercial businesses, including bars and restaurants, were forced to shut down.


The market that has been heavily impacted by the coronavirus pandemic.


Initially, electronic cigarette shops were included on the list of stores to be closed, but it's confusing why traditional tobacco stores remain open while reducing harm from electronic cigarette products. Dr. Riccardo Polosa, a renowned expert, finds this decision ridiculous and expressed his frustration by issuing a public statement the following morning.


The founder of the Center of Excellence for the Acceleration of Harm Reduction in Catania, Italy, Polosa, has published dozens of studies on various topics related to e-cigarettes. In an interview with Filter, he explained why he believes that both closing down e-cigarette shops and keeping traditional tobacco stores open is a mistake.


Thousands of electronic cigarette users may be at risk of returning to smoking, according to Professor X, who considers this a public health issue. Moreover, many respiratory disease patients have found relief in using e-cigarettes, but if they stop, their symptoms may worsen acutely, causing significant harm to the national health system. The Professor explained this during a statement.
