Dutch Court Upholds E-cigarette Flavour Ban

A Dutch court upheld the government’s ban on sweet flavors for e-cigarettes on Wednesday, citing their appeal to young people and the associated health risks. British American Tobacco (BAT) had challenged the ban, claiming it infringed on the free movement of goods and could deter smokers from switching to e-cigarettes as a quitting aid. The court rejected BAT's arguments, stating that tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes are still available, allowing smokers to continue using e-cigarettes to quit traditional smoking within the restrictions.
