electronic cigarettes and fillers with liquid suitable for filling electronic cigarettes

The draft law aims to prohibit the placing on the market of the Republic of Lithuania of electronic cigarettes and electronic cigarette fillers containing liquid if this liquid (both nicotine and nicotine-free) contains flavours other than tobacco smell and/or taste, thus reducing the attractiveness and demand of electronic cigarettes and electronic cigarette fillers (especially for young people who are particularly attracted to flavoured smoking products), which becomes particularly relevant due to the worrying trend towards the increase of the use of electronic cigarettes (especially among young people) in Lithuania [1, 2, 3, 4].
The purpose of the draft law is to prohibit the placing on the market of the Republic of Lithuania of electronic cigarettes and fillers containing liquids suitable for filling electronic cigarettes (hereinafter referred to as “electronic cigarette fillers”), provided that this liquid contains flavours other than tobacco smell and/or taste.
