According to the latest report from Turkish media outlet Diken, e-cigarettes remain popular in Turkey despite clear regulations prohibiting their sale. Turkish Minister of Commerce, Ömer Bolat, reiterated that e-cigarettes are strictly forbidden in Turkey.
In this unregulated market, various e-cigarettes and heated tobacco products are being sold openly and delivered right to customers' doorsteps. There are also circulating advertisements on the internet, both direct and indirect.
In response to this, the Turkish Minister of Commerce, Ömer Bolat, stated that the legal sale of heated tobacco products and e-cigarettes is not possible.
He further pointed out that Turkey has implemented strict bans on e-cigarettes, with the government, including President Tayyip Erdoğan, strongly opposing the liberalization of e-cigarette sales.
According to him, Turkish customs seized 256,000 e-cigarettes in the past month and then another 125,000 a week later. He stated that indirect or direct advertising of e-cigarettes is still widely spread on the Internet.
