Vape & E-cigarette Blog
France is in half measure on the subject of electronic cigarettes, but how do you deal with e-cigarette in the world? An overview of the legislation on vaping proposed by France Info.
E-cigarette in the world: from positivism to prohibition
When it comes to vapes, there are all kinds of positions: from those who are in favour of and even going so far as to reimburse the device, to those who are against it and impose heavy penalties. If in France we adopt a positioning half figs half grapes, half figs, half grapes, between advertising bans and the addition of vaporization in the list of smoking cessation devices during the "Me (s) sans Tabac, what about the rest of the world? France Info has looked at this issue by focusing on a few countries:
Vaping in Russia: until October, more or less was allowed to be done
Until October there was no ban on vape in Russia. Clearly, the government did not allow for a ruling on whether it should be assimilated to smoking, or a clear, formal and complete authorization. However, this may not be the case in the coming months. In October, the Russian Courier said:"The Russian Ministry of Health, as part of its new public tobacco control strategy, published on its website, is proposing to ban electronic cigarettes and chichas in cafés and to limit smoking in community apartments and personal vehicles".
The opinions of British government
In UK, the e-cigarette, we are fans! The British government considers that the e-cigarette is 95% less harmful than tobacco and has therefore decided to consider the vaper as a real smoking cessation tool. As a result, physicians may prescribe vaporization for patients wishing to quit smoking.
And elsewhere in Europe?
Elsewhere in Europe, many countries have chosen to control vaping. The restrictions apply on different levels, ranging from the prohibition of sale to simple minors (Poland, Romania, Croatia,...) to the prohibition of spraying in public places, as is the case in Spain.
The Asian countries clearly against
The most extreme legislation is found in Asian countries, with total prohibitions and severe penalties for offenders. For information the fine can cost several thousand dollairs in Hong Kong.
But this is also the case in some Latin American countries (Mexico, Brazil and others) that simply prohibit the sale of steaming products.
Countries that prohibit the sale:
Argentina, Thailand, Brazil, Brazil, Cambodia, Greece, Jordan, Colombia, Kuwait, Lithuania, Mauritius, India, Nicaragua, Mexico, Panama, Panama, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, Seychelles, Suriname, Turkey, Singapore, Singapore, Uruguay, Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates and Uruguay.
