Regulation of electronic cigarettes varies across countries and states, ranging from no regulation to banning them entirely.^[1] Others have introduced strict restrictions and some have licensed devices as medicines such as in the UK.^[2] As of 2015^[update], around two thirds of major nations have regulated e-cigarettes in some way.^[3] Because of the potential relationship with tobacco laws and medical drug policies, e-cigarette legislation is being debated in many countries.^[4] The companies that make e-cigarettes have been pushing for laws that support their interests.^[5] In 2016 the US Department of Transportation banned the use of e-cigarettes on commercial flights.^[6] This regulation applies to all flights to and from the US.^[6]

The legal status of e-cigarettes is currently pending in many countries.^[7] Many countries such as Brazil, Singapore, the Seychelles, Uruguay, and Norway have banned e-cigarettes.^[2] In Canada, they are technically illegal to sell, as no nicotine-containing e-fluid is approved by Health Canada, but this is generally unenforced and they are commonly available for sale Canada-wide.^[8] In the US and the UK, the use and sale to adults of e-cigarettes are legal.^[9]^: US^[10]^: UK As of August 8, 2016, the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) extended its regulatory power to include e-cigarettes.^[11] Under this ruling the FDA will evaluate certain issues, including ingredients, product features and health risks, as well their appeal to minors and non-users.^[12] The FDA rule also bans access to minors.^[12] A photo ID is required to buy e-cigarettes,^[13] and their sale in all-ages vending machines is not permitted.^[12] In May 2016 the FDA used its authority under the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act to deem e-cigarette devices and e-liquids to be tobacco products, which meant it intended to regulate the marketing, labelling, and manufacture of devices and liquids; vape shops that mix e-liquids or make or modify devices were considered manufacturing sites that needed to register with FDA and comply with good manufacturing practice regulation.^[14] E-cigarette and tobacco companies have recruited lobbyists in an effort to prevent the FDA from evaluating e-cigarette products or banning existing products already on the market.^[15]

In February 2014 the European Parliament passed regulations requiring standardization and quality control for liquids and vaporizers, disclosure of ingredients in liquids, and child-proofing and tamper-proofing for liquid packaging.^[16] In April 2014 the FDA published proposed regulations for e-cigarettes.^[17]^[18] In the US some states tax e-cigarettes as tobacco products, and some state and regional governments have broadened their indoor smoking bans to include e-cigarettes.^[19] As of 9 October 2015, at least 48 states and 2 territories banned e-cigarette sales to minors.^[20]

E-cigarettes have been listed as drug delivery devices in several countries because they contain nicotine, and their advertising has been restricted until safety and efficacy clinical trials are conclusive.^[21] Since they do not contain tobacco, television advertising in the US is not restricted.^[22] Some countries have regulated e-cigarettes as a medical product even though they have not approved them as a smoking cessation aid.^[23] A 2014 review stated the emerging phenomenon of e-cigarettes has raised concerns in the health community, governments, and the general public and recommended that e-cigarettes should be regulated to protect consumers.^[24] It added, "heavy regulation by restricting access to e-cigarettes would just encourage continuing use of much unhealthier tobacco smoking."^[24] A 2014 review said these products should be considered for regulation in view of the "reported adverse health effects".^[23]

Europe

On 19 December 2012 the European Commission adopted its proposal to revise the European Union Tobacco Products Directive 2001/37/EC which included proposals to introduce restrictions on the use and sales of e-cigarettes.^[25]^[26]^[27] On 8 October 2013 the European Parliament in Strasbourg voted down the Commission's proposal to introduce medical regulation for e-cigarettes, but proposed that cross-border marketing of e-cigarettes be regulated similarly to tobacco products, meaning that sales of e-cigarettes to under-18s would be prohibited in the European Union, along with most cross-border advertising. Warning labels also would be required. The Parliament and Member States are involved in trilogue discussions to reach a common conclusion.^[28] In February 2014, the European Parliament approved new regulations for tobacco products, including e-cigarettes.^[29] The new regulations forbid advertising of e-cigarettes, set limits on maximum concentrations of nicotine in liquids, limit maximum volumes of liquid that can be sold, require child-proof and tamper-proof packaging of liquid, set requirements on purity of ingredients, require that the devices deliver consistent doses of vapor, require disclosure of ingredients and nicotine content, and empower regulators to act if the regulations are violated.^[16] In October 2014 e-cigarette manufacturer Totally Wicked won the right to challenge the directive at the Court of Justice of the EU. The hearing took place on 1 October 2015 and the results will not be announced until early 2016.^[30]

In autumn 2013, the e-cigarette industry ran "a determined lobbying campaign" to defeat proposed European legislation to regulate e-cigarettes like medical devices.^[31] Pharmaceutical manufacturers GlaxoSmithKline and Johnson & Johnson have lobbied the US government, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), and the EU parliament for stricter regulation of e-cigarettes which compete with their products Nicorette gum and nicotine patches.^[32]

Albania No information is available.

Armenia The sale of e-cigarettes and liquids with and without nicotine is not regulated.^[33]

Austria Nicotine-containing cartridges are classified as medicinal products and e-cigarettes for nicotine inhalation as medical devices. Nicotine cartridges may not be sold without a license.^[34]

Azerbaijan No information is available.

Belarus No information is available.

Belgium A royal decree legalized the sale of nicotine containing cartridges outside of pharmacies as long as the cartridge contains not more than 2 ml and a maximum of 20 mg/ml of nicotine. The sale to a minor under the age of 16 years is prohibited.^[35]

Bosnia and Herzegovina Nicotine-containing cartridges are not classified as tobacco products, and therefore the sale is not regulated.^[36]

Bulgaria The sale and use of electronic cigarettes are legal, as well as the sale of cartridges and liquids with nicotine. There are no specific regulations from EU.^[37]

Croatia Advertising is restricted. Vaping is banned in all public enclosed facilities. By a law passed by the parliament e-cigarettes are classified as tobacco products. Therefore, vaping is banned in all public buildings, and the sale to a minor is prohibited.^[38]

Cyprus No information is available.

Czech Republic Sales are prohibited to people under 18 years of age.^[39] The use and advertising of e-cigarettes are legal.^[40] Sale of e-cigarettes is regulated in the same way as sale of conventional cigarettes – as such, e-cigarettes cannot be sold to minors and can be sold only at places permitted to sell conventional cigarettes. Online sale with mail delivery is de facto illegal due to the impossibility for age verification,^[39] however this rule is not enforced and there are plenty of e-shops.

Denmark Advertising is restricted. The Danish Medicines Agency classifies e-cigarettes containing nicotine as medicinal products. Thus, authorization is required before the product may be marketed and sold, and no such authorization has currently been given. The agency has clarified, however, that e-cigarettes that do not administer nicotine to the user, and are not otherwise used for the prevention or treatment of disease, are not considered medicinal devices.^[41]^[42]

Estonia The Estonian State Agency of Medicines had previously banned e-cigarettes, but the ban was overturned in court on 7 March 2013.^[43] Currently e-liquids containing more than 0.7 mg/ml of nicotine are still considered medicine and as such cannot be legally purchased within the country due to no manufacturer being licensed properly. Following the outcome of EU tobacco directive in October 2013, the legislation is moving towards a more relaxed stance on the issue. As stated by the Estonian minister of social affairs Taavi Rõivas (in charge of tobacco regulation), e-cigarettes will receive an advertisement ban and will clearly be banned for minors but will be available for adults before the end of 2013.

Finland The National Supervisory Authority of Welfare and Health (Valvira) declared that the new tobacco marketing ban (effective 1 January 2012) would also cover e-cigarettes,^[44] resulting in that Finnish stores or web stores can't advertise e-cigarettes because they might look like regular cigarettes. In theory, e-cigarettes with nicotine-free cartridges may still be sold, as long as their images and prices are not visible. Ordering from abroad remains allowed. Sale of nicotine cartridges is currently prohibited, as nicotine is considered a prescription drug requiring an authorization that such cartridges do not yet have. However, the Finnish authorities have decided that nicotine cartridges containing less than 10 mg nicotine, and e-liquid containing less than 0.42 g nicotine per bottle, may be legally brought in from other countries for private use. If the nicotine content is higher, a prescription from a Finnish physician is required. From a country within the European Economic Area a maximum of one year's supply may be brought in for private use when returning to Finland, while three months' supply may be brought in from outside the EEA. Mail-order deliveries from EEA countries, for a maximum of three months' supply, are also allowed.^[45]^[46]

France The sales of e-cigarettes or machines that imitate smoking, as well as the sale of cartridges containing or not containing nicotine, are prohibited to people under 18 years of age.^[47] The e-cigarettes are considered neither as a medical device nor as a medicine, according to a 2011 opinion of the National Agency for the Safety of Medicines and Health Products (ANSM), if it is not claimed by its sellers as a smoking cessation product, if the level and amount of nicotine do not exceed the thresholds of (20 mg / ml) and 10 mL respectively. In January 2017, the French Health Law transposing the European Directive on Tobacco Products came into force and establishes a list of places where smoking is prohibited. Offenders are liable to a fine of 150 euros or more. The persons responsible for the places where the prohibition applies and who have not put in place the signage will be fined 450 euros.[1]

At least 30% of the packaging must indicate the following text, "This product contains nicotine, which causes a strong addiction"^[52] The same restrictions apply to the sale of any e-cigarette and refillable tanker liquids as to any other tobacco product, therefore the legal purchasing age is 18 years.^[52]

Iceland ^[53]

Ireland Vaping is not covered by the Irish smoking ban.^[40]^[54]

Italy Sales of e-cigarettes are prohibited for people under 18 years of age (only for nicotine-containing cartridges).^[55] In 2013 the minimum age of 16 years for the sale of cartridges containing nicotine was raised to 18 years.^[56]^[57] Whoever now sells cartridges containing nicotine to a person under 18 years of age can be fined 250-€2.000.

Turkey Regulation of e-cigarettes is inconsistent.^[70] Sales are not completely banned ^[71] and there are plenty of online shops. In May 2013 the Minister of Heath stated that e-cigarettes which contain nicotine are medical devices and thus cannot be imported unless approved by the "Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency".^[72] But according to a WHO report as of 2014 e-cigarettes are not regulated as a therapeutic product.^[71] However law 4207, which regulates smoking, was amended in June 2013 by article 26 of law 6487 ^[73] to also apply to items which do not contain tobacco: "Herbal water pipes and all kind of cigarettes which do not contain tobacco but are used in a way to imitate tobacco products shall also be deemed as tobacco product."^[74] Vaping is thus forbidden indoors and on public transport, and also therefore forbidden for people under 18 years old. And thus, like tobacco products, personal import by mail or courier is forbidden. Specifically vaping is forbidden on high-speed trains.^[75]

Ukraine No information is available.

United Kingdom In the United Kingdom, the use, sale and advertising of e-cigarettes are legal and e-cigarettes are not covered by laws restricting smoking in public places.^[10] However, businesses may choose to ban e-cigarettes as well. A notable example is Transport for London, banning smoking and vaping as their Conditions of Carriage.^[76] Effective October 1, 2015, it is illegal to sell e-cigarettes or e-liquids to minors.^[77] In 2014 the government announced legislation would be brought forward to outlaw the purchase of e-cigarettes by people under the age of 18.^[10] In October 2014 the UK's Advertising Standards Authority changed the regulations on e-cigarette advertising, allowing the devices to appear in TV ads from 10 November.^[78] The first advert to take advantage of the change, promoting KiK e-cigarettes, aired on the day it came into force.^[79] In June 2015 the Welsh Government announced that under legislation it planned to pass, in Wales e-cigarettes would be included in existing bans on smoking in workplaces and other public spaces.^[80]

United States

Federal regulation

Prior to August 8, 2016,^[11] regulations concerning the use of e-cigarettes varied considerably across the United States, although there is more variation regarding laws limiting their use by youth than regarding multi-level regulations, such as banning their use in public places.^[81] The FDA classified e-cigarettes as drug delivery devices and subject to regulation under the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (FDCA) before importation and sale in the US.^[82] The classification was challenged in court, and overruled in January 2010 by Federal District Court Judge Richard J. Leon, explaining that "the devices should be regulated as tobacco products rather than drug or medical products."^[83]

In March 2010, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia stayed the injunction pending an appeal, during which the FDA argued the right to regulate e-cigarettes based on their previous ability to regulate nicotine replacement therapies such as nicotine gum or patches. Further, the agency argued that tobacco legislation enacted the previous year "expressly excludes from the definition of 'tobacco product' any article that is a drug, device or combination product under the FDCA, and provides that such articles shall be subject to regulation under the pre-existing FDCA provisions."^[84] On 7 December 2010, the appeals court ruled against the FDA in a 3–0 unanimous decision, ruling the FDA can only regulate e-cigarettes as tobacco products, and thus cannot block their import.^[85] The judges ruled that such devices would only be subject to drug legislation if they are marketed for therapeutic use – E-cigarette manufacturers had successfully proven that their products were targeted at smokers and not at those seeking to quit. The District Columbia Circuit appeals court, on 24 January 2011, declined to review the decision en banc, blocking the products from FDA regulation as medical devices.^[86]

In April 2014, the FDA proposed new regulations for tobacco products, including e-cigarettes. The regulations require disclosure of ingredients used in e-cigarette liquids, proof of safety of those ingredients, and regulation of the devices used to vaporize and deliver the liquid.^[17]^[87]^[88]^[89] The FDA proposed regulation would ban the sale of e-cigarettes with nicotine to any individual under 18 years of age.^[90] In August 2014, attorneys general from over two dozen states advised the FDA to enact restrictions on e-cigarettes, including banning flavors.^[91] On May 10, 2016, the FDA published their deeming regulations in the federal register, which takes effect on August 8, 2016. Vendors and companies have until two years afterward to prepare paperwork with the FDA to have their product remain on the market. Currently, there are lawsuits and amendments made in the works in Congress to change that provision. The lack of research on the risks and possible benefits has resulted in precautionary policymaking in the US "which often lacks grounding in empirical evidence and results in spatially uneven diffusion of policy".^[9]

As of August 8, 2016, the FDA extended its regulatory power to include e-cigarettes.^[11] Under this ruling the FDA will evaluate certain issues, including ingredients, product features and health risks, as well their appeal to minors and non-users.^[12] The FDA rule also bans access to minors.^[12] A photo ID is required to buy e-cigarettes,^[13] and their sale in all-ages vending machines is not permitted.^[12] The FDA in September 2016 has sent warning letters for unlawful underage sales to online retailers and retailers of e-cigarettes.^[92]

State regulation

Effective August 8, 2016, all US states will follow the same, uniform federal guidelines.^[11] With an absence of federal regulations, many states and cities had adopted their own e-cigarette regulations, most commonly to prohibit sales to minors, including Maryland, Kentucky, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Tennessee, Utah, Wisconsin, and Colorado. Other states are considering similar legislation.^[93] Several US cities and states have enacted laws that increased the legal age to purchase e-cigarettes to age 21.^[94] As of 2014^[update], some states in the US permit e-cigarettes to be taxed as tobacco products, and some state and regional governments in the US had extended their indoor smoking bans to include e-cigarettes.^[19]

Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger vetoed a bill that would regulate the sale of e-cigarettes within the state on grounds that "if adults want to purchase and consume these products with an understanding of the associated health risks, they should be able to do so."^[95]

A review of regulations in 40 U.S. states found that how a law defines e-cigarettes is critical, with some definitions allowing e-cigarettes to avoid smoke-free laws, taxation, and restrictions on sales and marketing.^[96] Less policies have been created to restrict vaping indoors than with cigarette smoking.^[97]

Many local and state jurisdictions have recently begun enacting laws that prohibit e-cigarette usage everywhere that smoking is banned, although some state laws with comprehensive smoke-free laws will still allow for vaping to be permitted in bars and restaurants while prohibiting e-cigarettes in other indoor places.^[98] As of August 2016, the United States Navy is considering banning e-cigarettes.^[99] A 2017 report stated "As of 2 October 2015, five US states and over 400 counties have implemented some form of restriction of ECIG use indoors. International policies are more varied with certain restrictions for ECIG use in UK airports and trains and reports of complete ECIG bans in indoor public places for Malta, Belgium and Spain."^[97]

Other countries

Australia: The Federal Department of Health and Ageing classifies every form of nicotine, except for replacement therapies and cigarettes, as a form of poison.^[100]^[101] In Australia, there are no laws pertaining to the regulation of e-cigarettes.^[102] Although there are a number of laws that are relevant to the regulation of poisons, therapeutic goods, and tobacco control which are applicable to e-cigarettes in certain cases.^[102] Australia is developing regulations on e-cigarettes.^[103] The sale of e-cigarettes must be registered with the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) before being sold.^[104] Importation of e-cigarettes and their related products is illegal unless approved by the TGA.^[104] The TPA has said that there were no laws preventing the importation of e-cigarettes bought over the internet for personal use, unless prohibited by state and territory legislation.^[105] State laws in Australia's various states are a little bit conflicting. According to the Poisons Standard of 2010, inhaled nicotine is Pharmacy Only, or a Schedule 2 medication when used to help quit smoking.^[106]^[107] In April 2014 a court decision made it illegal to sell or supply e-cigarettes regardless of their appearance or nicotine content (even if zero) in Western Australia.^[108] Previously they were banned if they looked like cigarettes. The court ruled that the action they provided in and of itself looks like cigarettes. Precise rules in the other states vary.

In the state of Punjab However the State Drug controlling Authority have used the Drug and cosmetic Act of 1945 to declare e-cigarettes with nicotine as an unapproved drug.^[119] The state of Punjab sentenced a man to 3 years jail term and a fine of Rs.1 Lakh on 7/4/16 by District Court.^[120] He had with his possession one cigarlike e-cigarette with eight cartridges.^[121]
