Netherlands bans flavored e-cigarettes before 2023
Although the Netherlands has banned the use of flavored e-cigarettes since the beginning of this year, they will allow them to be withdrawn from the market before October.
According to the Dutch Tobacco and Tobacco Products Act, as of January 1st, 2023, the sale of flavored electronic cigarettes will be banned in the Netherlands. Starting now, liquids used for electronic cigarettes may only taste like traditional tobacco.
However, a transitional period has been provided to allow Dutch e-cigarette retailers time to adjust. They will no longer be allowed to sell new flavors, but can still sell their existing inventory until October 1st. After that date, all e-cigarette flavors except tobacco will be banned for sale domestically.
The ban was issued after a report from the Trimbos Institute revealed that flavorings increase the appeal of electronic cigarettes, especially among young people. There is also increasing evidence that e-cigarettes are a gateway to conventional smoking.
