18th October 2022: Montenegro: In 2022, authorities fined 258 people for not complying with vaping/heated tobacco/tobacco usage in bars and restaurants, local press reports. The authorities do not have a precise number on how many of those were for responsible persons managing hospitality premises and how many of those were for individuals who vaped/used heated tobacco/smoked, but the practice is – according to restaurateurs – that they are the ones who are fined, not the guests. Similarly, there is no data showing how many vapers were fined compared to smokers or heated tobacco users.
