Italy is readying to toughen the rules for electronic cigarettes. Vaping products are now not allowed to smoke in public places, and smoking near children and pregnant women will be punished.
Fines will be issued by law enforcement officers and rules also minimize the advertising of electronic cigarettes and remove smoking areas at airports, according to the Blitz.
British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak says he will help combat the illegal migration of vaping products across the English Channel.
Italy’s Minister of Infrastructure and Transport Matteo Salvini was outraged by the new law, saying that it was thanks to electronic cigarettes that he quit smoking.
