Poland’s Sejm Passes Law Banning E-Cigarette Sales to Minors, Restricts Online Sales & Ads

Poland Vape Tax Disposable E-cigarette Sales Decline

The Polish Sejm (lower house of parliament) has passed a new law prohibiting the sale of all types of e-cigarettes, including nicotine-free versions and nicotine pouches, to individuals under the age of 18. The legislation also bans the distance selling (including online sales) and advertising of nicotine-free e-cigarettes and nicotine pouches.

The amendment to the Act on Health Protection against the Consequences of Using Tobacco and Tobacco Products received overwhelming support, with 417 votes in favor, one against, and 10 abstentions. Prepared by the Ministry of Health, the law further prohibits the sale of nicotine pouches to minors and their sale in healthcare facilities, schools, educational institutions, sports and recreation facilities, vending machines, and self-service systems.

Additionally, the new regulations extend the ban on using e-cigarettes with nicotine-free liquid (producing nicotine-free vapor) to all public places where the use of nicotine-containing e-cigarettes is already prohibited. This includes schools, kindergartens, public transport stops, restaurants, and children’s playgrounds.
