Flavours come and go,
tobacco is here to stay.

Which Countries Does This Affect?

*To date, all 27 EU member states will implement the ban. Northern Ireland is also affected, but not the rest of the United Kingdom (England, Wales, and Scotland). The Irish Sea border treaty - created following Brexit - binds Northern Ireland to follow EU law. Therefore, Northern Ireland should implement the EU characterizing flavour ban on heated tobacco products. Find out more on if (Market) will restrict characterizing flavoured heated tobacco.

The ban does not affect vapes or e-liquid flavourings, which are regulated by national laws of individual EU Member States. Follow the link to learn more.

Both vapes and heated tobacco is not risk-free and provides nicotine, which is addictive. Smoke-free products are not alternatives to quitting and are not designed as cessation aids. The best decision for any adult smoker is to quit tobacco and nicotine consumption altogether.
