Belgium to Ban Sale of Disposables
Belgium will ban the sale of disposable e-cigarettes effective Jan. 1, 2025, making it the first EU country to do so, reports The Brussels Times, citing Federal Health Minister Frank Vandenbroucke. The country has received approval from the European Commission for the ban. “The disposable e-cigarette causes a lot of damage to society and the environment,” said Vandenbroucke. “This harmful product mainly targets our young people. I am therefore pleased that we can remove this from the market.”
21.00% of the adult population are current smokers. There are approximately 2.0 million current smokers in Belgium 23.30% of men are current smokers but only 17.60% of women.
