Belgium will prohibit the sale of disposable electronic cigarettes from January 1, 2024, due to concerns about health and environmental impacts. Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke highlighted that these products pose a risk as they can easily attract teenagers to nicotine addiction. The move follows similar restrictions in Ireland and Australia’s recent legislation on vapes. Vandenbroucke aims for stronger tobacco measures across the European Union, calling on the European Commission to modernize tobacco laws.
