Spain Drafts Law to Regulate E-Cigarettes in Line with Tobacco Products
Spain drafts law to regulate e-cigarettes like traditional tobacco, limiting sales to specialty shops. EU approval pending.

The Spanish government has recently drafted a bill aimed at aligning the standards for electronic cigarettes with those for traditional tobacco products.

 

Strengthen control over the products, review their advertising activities, and prevent minors from buying electronic cigarettes through the internet. This would mean that electronic cigarettes could only be sold in traditional tobacco stores and that electronic cigarette offline retailers would no longer exist.

 

In a discussion with 2FIRSTS, Amy, the Senior Business Officer of the Economic and Commercial Office of the Spanish Embassy in China, stated that this proposal must receive approval from the European Union Parliament before it can be officially implemented, with a transition period of five years in place.

 

2FIRSTS will continue to monitor this event and provide you with further updates.
