Poland Government Decides to Ban Sale of HTPs
According to a recent report by Poland's Businessinsider, the Polish government has made a decision to ban the sale of heated tobacco products. Wojciech Konieczny, the Deputy Minister of Health in Poland, stated that the proposed legislation is currently being discussed internally and is expected to soon enter the legislative process.
Konieczny added, "Perhaps the regulations will be implemented starting next year, but before the ban is officially enforced, the government will first hold in-depth discussions with relevant industry producers."
The EU Tobacco Directive prohibits the introduction of flavored heated tobacco products into the EU market and removes exemptions granted to member states regarding certain labeling requirements for these products.
By the end of 2023, Poland was lagging behind in enforcing EU bans, prompting the European Commission to issue a warning and urge Poland to take action as soon as possible. Just last week, Poland's Minister of Health, Izabela Leszczyna, mentioned that she is planning to study policies related to banning disposable e-cigarettes.
