New Regulations in Norway Ban Flavored E-cigarettes Starting July
New law in Norway bans adding flavorings to e-cigarettes starting July 1, limiting options to tobacco flavor only.

According to a report from Mojano in Norway on July 1, several new laws and regulations came into effect in Norway in July.


A new law will go into effect on July 1st in the e-cigarette industry, banning the addition of flavorings to e-cigarettes.


This means that Norwegian stores are only allowed to sell tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes. This regulation also applies to flavoring containers that do not contain nicotine.


The ban on the sale of e-cigarettes will take effect in July next year, but the ban on flavored e-liquids is already in effect.
