Ministry of Social Affairs Favors EU-Wide Regulatory System Over Individual State Bans

Estonia currently has no plans to ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes, despite Belgium becoming the first EU member state to implement such a ban starting January 1, 2025. Aive Telling, head of the Department of Environmental Protection and Chemical Safety at the Estonian Ministry of Social Affairs, stated that while the possibility of banning disposable vapes has been discussed in Estonia for years, the government currently supports a pan-European approach to regulation.
