Belgium urges stricter EU vaping rules
Belgium is calling for stronger EU-wide action on vaping as concerns grow over rising use and potential health risks, particularly among young people. The country’s health minister has described vaping as an “epidemic,” warning that e-cigarettes contain numerous chemical substances that may pose risks when heated. Proposals include stricter limits on ingredients, tighter control of flavours, and a bloc-wide ban on disposable e-cigarettes, reflecting measures already introduced at national level. The push highlights increasing pressure for more harmonized regulations across the European Union, as current rules differ between member states. At the same time, EU officials emphasize the need for stronger cooperation and better use of scientific research to guide future policy decisions. The debate signals a broader shift toward stricter oversight of vaping products as part of evolving public health strategies in Europe.
