Amharc ar fhreagraElectronic Cigarettes and related products are regulated by the European Union (Manufacture, Presentation and Sale of Tobacco and Related Products) Regulations 2016. The Regulations provide that e-cigarette manufacturers must notify the Health Service Executive (HSE) of all products that are placed on the market. The HSE is responsible for the enforcement of the provisions relating to e-cigarettes and for ensuring compliance with the Regulations.
I have therefore, referred your question to the HSE for direct reply.
