Poland Advances New Tobacco Control Rules: Comprehensive Ban on Sales of Nicotine Alternatives to Minors

Jun.11

The Polish Senate plans to expand restrictions on e-cigarette sales by banning purchases by minors and prohibiting the use of nicotine-free e-cigarettes in public places.

Key Point:

1.The Polish government is planning to expand restrictions on the sale of e-cigarettes to include non-nicotine products.

2.It is proposed to ban minors from purchasing all types of e-cigarettes and nicotine products.

3.Online sales of e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches will be banned, and advertising promotion will also be restricted.

According to a report by PAP on June 10th, the Polish Senate is set to review a revised bill regarding the "Tobacco Act" which aims to expand restrictions on the sale of nicotine products to minors. Under the new regulations, all products without nicotine, including e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches, will be prohibited from being sold to individuals under the age of 18, and the use of these products in public places will also be banned.

This means that all nicotine pouches and nicotine-free e-cigarette products will no longer be allowed to be sold online or purchased in medical facilities, schools, sports and leisure facilities, etc. It also prohibits advertising.

The promotion of this bill aims to reduce opportunities for teenagers to access and use nicotine products, strengthen protections for minors, and promote public health awareness.
