Turkmenistan Bans Sales of E-Cigarettes
Turkmenistan has suddenly banned the sale of e-cigarettes, including e-cigarettes, e-liquids, and devices, but without any official regulation documents.

According to a report from turkmen.news, Turkmenistan has abruptly banned the sale of electronic cigarettes. Recently, retailers in the country have removed disposable e-cigarettes, e-cigarette devices, vaping liquid, and other components from their shelves.

 

However, there have been no official regulatory documents released, and these products have simply disappeared from the market. Sellers have verbally informed customers that they are no longer allowed to be sold.

 

Before being banned, e-cigarettes were very popular in the country and were easily purchasable both online and offline. High-end nightclubs, such as the "100 Fountains" area in Ashgabat, were particularly popular sales locations for these products.

 

The report points out that some stores still sell so-called "Ashku" (slang name for disposable e-cigarettes) as well as hookah and tobacco.
