As of July 1, flavoured electronic cigarettes are no longer available in Lithuania.
The new ban aims to tackle the rise in smoking among teenagers and children.
“The use of electronic cigarettes among teenagers aged 15 to 16 is one of the highest in Europe, second only to Monaco,” said Grazina Belian, interim head of the Department for Drug, Tobacco and Alcohol Control.
In Lithuania, 31% of schoolchildren used electronic cigarettes in the last month, she added.
The law banning flavoured electronic cigarettes was passed earlier this year. (LRT/Business World Magazine)
