Regulatory report: Italy, April 2021

Specialist vape shops, tobacconists, pharmacies and parapharmacies in Italy are the only permitted offline sales channels for e-liquids. Domestic online sales are allowed, but cross-border sales are not. We expect to see more changes in the Italian regulatory framework throughout 2021 and 2022, especially in terms of tax. This will start with the implementation of policy on special e-liquid stamps in the second quarter of the year. This report covers all areas of the current regulatory framework for vaping products.
