The Swedish government has proposed banning non-tobacco-flavored e-cigarettes, including menthol flavors.
The proposed law covers both nicotine and zero-nicotine e-liquids, regulates all synthetic nicotine products, and sets the legal purchasing age at 18. If passed, the sale of flavored e-cigarette products will be banned starting January 1, 2023.
The bill is currently under review by the legislative committee, which examines its legal validity before lawmakers consider the proposed legislation. Parliament could vote on the bill as early as March 22.
If the bill is passed, Sweden will become the eighth European country to ban flavored e-cigarettes, following Estonia, Finland, Hungary, Ukraine, Denmark, Lithuania, and the Netherlands.
