New restrictions on smoking and e-cigarette use will take effect in Moldova on June 24

New restrictions on smoking and e-cigarette use will take effect in Moldova on June 24

These amendments to the Law on Tobacco Control are aimed at strengthening public protection from exposure to tobacco smoke and aerosols generated by the use of tobacco and related products. According to the National Agency for Public Health, the new regulations ban all products that emit smoke or aerosols: regular cigarettes, e-cigarettes, heated tobacco systems, hookahs, and other similar devices. The law also prohibits nicotine pouches for oral use. Smoking is prohibited in all enclosed and semi-enclosed public places, workplaces, educational and healthcare institutions, sports facilities and recreational areas, public transportation, at bus stops, and within a 10-meter radius of building entrances, residential windows, and public transportation stops. Another new regulation will be a new, unified sign indicating the prohibition of smoking/consumption of tobacco and related products. Owners of public spaces, employers, facility administrations, and public transport operators are required to display the sign in prominent locations. Violating the smoking ban in designated areas, as well as failing to display the required sign, will result in administrative penalties under the Code of Offenses. The agency notes that the amendments are aimed at harmonizing Moldovan legislation with European standards and implementing the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control.// 23.06.2026 — InfoMarket.
