According to a report from the Polish news website ESKA on February 17th, Polish Deputy Health Minister Wojciech Konieczny stated that the sale of disposable e-cigarettes may be banned in the coming months, preferably before summer vacation. He emphasized that he supports a complete ban on these products.
When asked on the radio program when a ban on the sale of disposable e-cigarettes might be implemented, Konecny replied:
I believe that it would be best to achieve this before the summer vacation, as our statistics show that the use of disposable e-cigarettes is increasing during the summer holidays, with a large sales volume. They are most popular among young people and are also a relatively affordable option.
He pointed out that these devices attract people through color, scent, and taste. He emphasized, "They may look cool and appealing, but in reality they are addictive devices, and a very harmful, dangerous addiction, especially among young people."
As for disposable e-cigarettes, in my opinion, only strict bans may prove successful. Otherwise, manufacturers will find loopholes and deficiencies in regulations, rendering them ineffective. I support a complete prohibition of these disposable e-cigarettes.
"Of course, when we start drafting the law, it's not just about the ban on selling disposable e-cigarettes, we will also discuss other anti-smoking issues," he announced.
Previously, Health Minister Izabela Leszczyna stated that the government has begun working on regulations for disposable e-cigarettes.
"I want to ban the sale of these cigarettes, so I will propose the request, hoping that they will agree with my viewpoint."
