Disposable electronic cigarettes are completely banned
Latest Developments
On March 10, 2026, the Polish Council of Ministers passed a revised draft of the Law on the Protection of Health from the Consequences of the Use of Tobacco and Tobacco Products, proposing a comprehensive ban on disposable electronic cigarettes (including nicotine and nicotine free versions) and allowing only tobacco flavored sales of nicotine bags. Poland has become the fourth EU country to ban disposable electronic cigarettes, following France, Belgium, and Bulgaria.
On April 14, 2026, the Council of Ministers passed an amendment to the Consumption Tax Law, extending the consumption tax to electronic cigarettes based on electromagnetic induction technology, with a tax of 40 zlotys (approximately 72 RMB) per unit, filling a regulatory loophole
Policy Trends
1. Comprehensive ban on disposable electronic cigarettes: Passed by the Ministerial Meeting in March 2026, the legislative process is underway, with a transition period of 6 months. Disposable and flavored nicotine products will become illegal.
2. Continuous increase in consumption tax: The tiered increase plan will be completed by 2027 (with a peak of 1.80 zloty/mL for e-liquid).
