The European Parliament has reportedly
approved new regulations for subjecting electronic cigarettes to certain restrictions
which are currently applicable on other tobacco containing products. In accordance
with these new rules, electronic cigarettes have to be made inaccessible to
children, the advertising and marketing of these products will be prohibited in
Europe, the e-cigarette packages will need safety warnings and they will not
contain more than 20 milligrams of nicotine.
Parliamentarians have revealed to the
New York Times that this new decision taken by the European Parliament will affect
the makers of electronic cigarettes to a considerable extent. According to
them, this new move is likely to be disputed in court.
