Ukrainian Government Regulations to Verify Age on E-Cigarette Websites

Ukraine government requires age verification on e-cigarette websites to protect minors from harmful tobacco products.

On August 11th, the Ukrainian government announced on its official website that it has requested manufacturers and importers of e-cigarettes and heated tobacco systems to verify the age of visitors to their websites. This verification process applies to websites providing information on sales, maintenance, as well as tobacco and nicotine product accessories.

According to the regulations set by the Ukrainian government, websites selling tobacco and e-cigarette products are required to implement an identification system, and visitors are requested to provide documents verifying their age.

Government officials have devised relevant resolutions with the aim of implementing the requirements of the Law on Protecting the Public from the Harms of Tobacco (Law No. 1978).

Furthermore, they emphasized that implementing the best practices of the European Union would help safeguard children and youth from the harmful effects of tobacco products, limit their exposure to such products, and prevent underage usage.
