Serbia fines sellers for underage vape sales
Serbia fines sellers of e-cigarettes to minors up to 430 euros under new consumer protection law.

According to the recently revised Consumer Protection Law in Serbia, sellers who market electronic cigarettes or similar products to minors will face fines of approximately €430 (equivalent to approximately CNY 3249).


This revision fills the gap in previously unregulated areas. According to the Serbian Ministry of Foreign and Domestic Trade, this law did not previously define e-cigarettes or prohibit the sale to minors.


Reference:


Serbian government has introduced penalties for the sale of vaping products to minors. The new regulations authorise fines for merchants who sell these products to individuals under the age of 18. This legal action is taken to control the increasing number of underage vapers in the country.
