Irish e-cigarette regulation in a nutshell
The European Union (Manufacture, Presentation and Sale of Tobacco and Related Products) Regulations 2016 is the key statutory instrument regulating e-cigarettes containing nicotine in the Republic of Ireland. It was adopted in May 2016, transposing the EU’s TPD. Although it is not specified whether it contains nicotine or not, nicotine-free liquids are not affected by the Irish transposition of the TPD.
The government’s five-year plan called “Our Shared Future”, includes the introduction of new rules addressing taxation, sales and advertising restrictions.
Meanwhile, the Oireachtas (parliament) is still considering the Public Health (Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhalation) Bill proposed by former health minister Simon Harris. The proposed law would introduce a licensing system for the sale of tobacco products and e-cigarettes.
