The President of Kyrgyzstan has signed a new law that will completely ban vapes starting July 2025, including prohibitions on import, distribution, and use, with corresponding fines established for violations.

According to ILkha on November 24th, Kyrgyzstan President Sadır Caparov recently signed a law that will completely ban e-cigarettes by the middle of 2025.


This law stipulates that the import, distribution, and use of e-cigarettes will be prohibited, with individuals smoking e-cigarettes facing fines of $115, and legal entities facing fines of around $695. Individuals selling e-cigarettes will be fined $230, while legal entities will be fined $750.
