According to Norwegian media Moja Norwegiareported on July 2, due to the increase in the use of e-cigarettes by young people in the European Union, the Norwegian Ministry of Health has submitted an e-cigarette regulation bill.
The bill includes:
It is prohibited to add flavors other than tobacco flavors to e-cigarette oil. The proposal is based on similar principles already in place in countries such as Finland and Denmark.
E-cigarettes and similar products are required to use standard packaging. The proposal builds on similar regulations already in place in countries such as Denmark and the Netherlands.
In addition, the Health Ministry has proposed minor changes to the law, such as an explicit no-smoking restriction to accommodate the many new tobacco products appearing on the market, an explicit ban on the visible display of tobacco products, and the introduction of consistency to ensure the consistency of existing regulations.
The government submitted the bill on June 9. It will be considered by the parliamentary Health Committee, and the revised regulations will come into effect after being passed by Parliament.
