Description
Iceland passed a new law to specifically regulate e-cigarettes with and without nicotine for the first time in June 2018, creating a specific regime. While the country is not a member of the EU, it’s framework mirrors that of the EU Tobacco Products Directive in many ways. This report offers a full overview of the current regulatory regime in place in the country for vaping products, and also offers analysis of the recent bill on the table that could restrict flavours. This bill demonstrates that these products are seen by the Icelandic authorities as potentially problematic with the need for further restrictions.
Reasons to buy
While little has changed in Iceland’s regulatory framework for e-cigarettes in the last few years, the appearance of the new bill currently under consideration – which could place further restrictions on flavours – suggests the authorities may continue to impose further regulation and restriction on such products. If you are interested in Iceland’s market then this report provides you with all you need to know about current regulation, covering all aspects of law from labelling and packaging requirements to notification, taxation and advertising.
