This bill is inactive waiting for the President's signature. It hits the interests of tobacco companies

Zdjęcie: Andrzej Duda


The anti-tobacco act passed without any comments by the Sejm and the Senate. Now it is only waiting for the signature of president Andrzej Duda. The fresh regulations will introduce a PLN 40 fee for the alleged vaping devices, i.e. disposable e-cigarettes, reusable e-cigarettes and tobacco heaters. The act is supported by the medical community. Tobacco companies are against it. Business organizations representing the interests of the tobacco manufacture have already written letters to the president on this issue, suggesting either a presidential veto or referring any of the provisions of the act to the Constitutional Tribunal. Who will the president perceive to? The deadline for signing it is March 21.
