Wijziging van de Tabaks- en rookwarenwet ter regeling van de elektronische sigaret zonder nicotine en nadere regeling van voor roken bestemde kruidenproducten

This Dutch legislative bill amends the Tobacco and Smoking Products Act (Tabaks- en rookwarenwet) to set rules for electronic cigarettes that contain no nicotine, and to introduce more detailed regulation for herbal products intended for smoking. Such products have often been sold outside the strict rules that apply to tobacco, so the bill aims to close that gap and give clearer legal certainty to consumers, retailers and enforcement authorities. Manufacturers, importers and retailers of nicotine-free e-cigarettes and herbal smoking products would be directly affected by the new requirements. Consumers who use these products, as well as health and enforcement bodies, would also see changes in how the products are regulated and sold.
