UAE plans to legalize e-cigarettes and open the IQOS new tobacco market
Last week, there was good news regarding e-cigarettes in the United Arab Emirates, as the national report indicated that "the UAE is actively considering legalizing e-cigarette devices and their use!"
This is very good news for smokers in the country, as it opens a door away from the deadly harms of traditional tobacco and allows e-cigarettes and heated tobacco devices to become alternatives to conventional tobacco.
Although the legalization process may face ups and downs and be pressured by opposing forces, if the focus is on harm reduction and tobacco product addiction, rational parties concerned with public health may support the UAE government's legalization of e-cigarettes, viewing this action as a step towards a healthier, smoke-free future for the people.
Regardless of whether e-cigarettes will be legalized in the UAE in the short term, this news is a good start for new tobacco users and businesses from an objective perspective.
