Description
France’s e-cigarette regulatory framework has not undergone any major changes in recent years, and we believe it is unlikely that any big policy changes are on the horizon. With a vaping population of almost 3m, France is one of the more mature e-cig markets in Europe and regulates nicotine-containing and nicotine-free e-liquids in the same way in many policy areas. While a number of health authorities have acknowledged the reduced risks of these products, the general attitude towards them remains cautious.
Reasons to buy
France has one of the biggest and most developed e-cig markets in the world, and transposed the EU Tobacco Products Directive into law in 2016. If you are interested in the French market then this report will provide you with everything you need to know about the current regulatory framework for these products. All policy areas are covered from advertising and product restrictions to labelling and packaging rules, notification and public usage.
