Health Ministry planning to ban sweet-flavoured electronic cigarettes

The Ministry of Health is preparing a decree to ban sweet-flavoured electronic cigarettes in order to curtail the growing popularity of e-cigarettes especially among the young. Although by law they cannot be sold to people under 18, many salespeople do not respect this condition and flavoured electronic cigarettes are becoming increasingly popular among teenagers. According to the ministry’s decree only one flavor, tobacco, would remain. Robert Hrdlička, head of the Chamber of Electronic Vaping, has protested against the move, saying that as drafted, the decree would mean the end of vaping in Czechia.
