E-liquid flavour ban in the Netherlands: fewer notified e-cigarettes, more with a tobacco flavour

Back to Thr Pub Med Research

Explainer Summary

Since January 1, 2024, the Netherlands has allowed only tobacco flavour for e-liquids, using a list of 16 permitted flavour-determining ingredients. The policy was introduced partly to make e-cigarettes less attractive to young people.

Researchers analysed officially notified e-cigarette products from 2020 through 2025. In 2025, the number of newly notified products was 61% lower than in 2020. The share containing only permitted flavourings increased, while products containing non-permitted flavourings decreased.

Key Points

  • The Dutch flavour ban took effect on January 1, 2024.
  • Only tobacco flavour is permitted under the new rules.
  • The analysis covered notified products from 2020 through 2025.
  • Newly notified e-cigarette products in 2025 were 61% lower than in 2020.
  • The percentage containing only permitted flavourings increased by 38%.
  • The percentage containing non-permitted flavourings decreased by 56%.
  • More research is needed to determine effects on consumer behaviour and sales.

Why This Matters

Flavours can influence how attractive vaping products are, particularly to young people. Product notification data provide one way to see whether manufacturers change products after new rules are introduced.

A reduction in notified products does not automatically show how much vaping behaviour or sales changed.

Public Health Relevance

The study provides early evidence about how the commercial e-cigarette product market responded to a national flavour restriction.

Policy Relevance

The findings support the immediate product-market goals of the Dutch flavour policy, but the researchers say consumer behaviour, attractiveness and sales still need to be studied before the full effect of the ban can be assessed.

اردو خلاصہ

نیدرلینڈز میں یکم جنوری 2024 سے ای لیکوئیڈ میں تمباکو کے علاوہ دوسرے فلیورز پر پابندی ہے۔ اس کے لیے صرف 16 ایسے اجزاء کی اجازت دی گئی ہے جن سے تمباکو فلیور بنایا جا سکتا ہے۔

2020 سے 2025 تک سرکاری طور پر درج مصنوعات کے ڈیٹا میں 2025 میں نئی رجسٹر ہونے والی ای سگریٹس کی تعداد 2020 کے مقابلے میں 61 فیصد کم تھی۔ صرف اجازت یافتہ فلیور اجزاء استعمال کرنے والی مصنوعات کا حصہ بڑھا جبکہ غیر اجازت یافتہ اجزاء والی مصنوعات کم ہوئیں۔ تاہم یہ جاننے کے لیے مزید تحقیق ضروری ہے کہ اس پابندی سے لوگوں کے استعمال اور فروخت پر کتنا اثر پڑا۔
