As of current years, the use of e-cigarettes has grown increasingly popular among youth and older individuals alike in Cyprus. However, with the rising issues about the health implications associated with vaping, many countries, including Cyprus, have enacted regulations to control the sale and consumption of e-cigarettes.
Regulations and Limitations
In Cyprus, the minimum age for using e-cigarettes is eighteen years old, as mandated by the national laws. This means that individuals under the age of eighteen are not allowed from buying or consuming vaping products in Cyprus. The Cyprus Vaping Age government has also imposed limitations on the promotion and sponsorship of vaping products to young people.
- The distribution of e-cigarettes to individuals under 18 is prohibited in Cyprus.
- Sellers are obliged to check the age of customers before selling e-cigarettes.
- E-cigarette use is not allowed in enclosed places, such as restaurants, bars, and retail malls.
Penalties of Underage Vaping
People found using e-cigarettes below the age of eighteen in Cyprus may be subject to penalties or other consequences. Guardians or legal guardians may also be held responsible for not to stop young people from accessing vaping products.
The authorities of Cyprus is committed to reducing the prevalence of underage vaping and encouraging a healthier environment for all. By implementing tougher regulations and increasing education about the dangers of e-cigarette use, Cyprus aims to protect the well-being and safety of its residents, especially young people and vulnerable populations.
