Rules are being loosened: Italy regulatory report

In our latest look at Italian e-cig regulations we find that the Italian government has taken a positive stance on vapour products, loosening various regulatory burdens imposed by the previous parliament. A tax of €0.08 per ml is applicable on nicotine-containing products and €0.04 per ml for zero-nicotine products. The so-called “Vicari amendment” of December 2017 introduced an authorisation regime for specialist shops, which along with pharmacies and parapharmacies, are the only permitted offline sales channels for e-liquids in Italy.
