Uzbekistan Revisits Proposal to Ban E-Cigarettes
Uzbekistan may soon prohibit the import, sale, and use of electronic cigarettes, according to a press release from the Liberal Democratic Party of Uzbekistan (UzLiDeP). Members of the UzLiDeP faction reviewed the corresponding bill in its first reading, highlighting the increasing prevalence of illegal imports and circulation of modern and innovative tobacco and nicotine products in recent years, particularly among the country’s youth.
The proposed legislation seeks to ban the production, manufacture, storage, transportation, and sale of certain types of tobacco products and devices for consuming tobacco and nicotine, including e-cigarettes, within Uzbekistan’s territory. Additionally, the bill suggests introducing administrative and criminal liability for importing or exporting these products.
This recent development follows the Uzbek government’s initial proposal to ban e-cigarettes in April of the previous year, underscoring the ongoing concern about the potential health risks and social impact of these products.
As the vaping industry continues to grow globally, countries like Uzbekistan are grappling with the challenge of regulating these innovative products while protecting public health and preventing youth access. The outcome of this legislative process will have significant implications for the vaping industry and consumers in Uzbekistan.
