VAPING NEWS: KAZAKHSTAN [Reclassifying E-cigs As Tobacco]

“Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev on July 8 signed into law comprehensive tobacco control measures. The Health Act treats all nicotine products, including e-cigarettes and heated tobacco devices, as tobacco products. Smokeless tobacco products are banned altogether. It prohibits point-of-sale displays and expands the list of smoke-free places to outdoor playgrounds, underground walkways, transit areas and cars with children. The legislation also prohibits new products in smoke-free places and increases fines for violators.”
