Vaping landscape in Denmark
Denmark transposed the EU’s Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) on 7th June 2016. It sets the basis for further regulation, while focusing on public place usage and sanctions for non-compliance.
In a population of 5.6m, there are roughly 145,000 vapers in the country. Denmark has historically been tough on e-cigarettes, as nicotine-containing e-cigarettes could only be sold as pharmaceutical products or once a medical licence was obtained. We believe there was illegal online trade before the implementation of the TPD. The new regulations eliminated the need for pharmaceutical licensing of e-liquids. The Danish vapour industry must prepare for important changes this year – to be implemented in phases – following the approval of Bill L61, which introduces stricter restrictions than the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD)
Vape stores and other bricks-and-mortar retailers are now allowed to stock nicotine-containing products, as long as they were notified six months before being placed on the market. This has led to the growing share of offline e-cigarette sales. We are currently seeing that physical vape stores are leading the e-cig offline retail market, with just a small share allocated to offline mainstream retail.
