The Hungarian Parliament has approved legislation stating the sale of all e-cigarette products is to be limited to the state-run network of tobacco shops, reported Hungary Today.

The prime minister’s commissioner for the protection of non-smokers, János Lázár, had submitted the proposed legislation along with a package of other measures, such as banning smoking in cars and denying tobacco purchases to anyone born after 2020, according to Hungary Today.
The now approved law will reduce excise tax on e-cigarette liquids from HUF 55 (USD 0.18) to HUF 20 (USD 0.07) per ml in order to reach the same level as neighbouring countries and thus reduce illegal imports. It will also lower the amount of tobacco shops around the country by raising the population per shop threshold from 3,000 to 4,000.
