E-Cigarettes: Policy Guidance
This resource uses a three-step process to assist governments in determining how to regulate e-cigarettes given their country's circumstances while balancing competing public health considerations.
- E - CIGARETTES
- LEGAL/POLICY GUIDANCE
In the absence of effective government regulation, e-cigarettes could create a new generation of nicotine and tobacco users and undermine the progress made in combating the tobacco epidemic. Governments should act quickly to apply one of three regulatory options:
Ban the sale of e-cigarettes entirely
Regulate e-cigarettes as medicinal/pharmaceutical products
Regulate e-cigarettes by strictly applying measures that align with the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC)
