DIRECTIVE 2014/40/EU OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL
The creation of a category of heated tobacco products is necessary to prevent a lack of legal clarity in the classification of such novel tobacco products. Heated tobacco products constitute tobacco products, which by nature are between traditional smoking and classic smokeless tobacco products, because these products are heated by using a heating accessory and do not combust or produce smoke. However, their use does involve gas, which has a disturbing smell and can cause health risks.
The draft proposes amending the Estonian Tobacco Act (hereafter “the Tobacco Act”) by creating a new category of tobacco products: “heated tobacco products”. The Tobacco Act is supplemented by rules relating to heated tobacco products.
