Germany: Electronic Cigarettes

You are subscribed to Legal Research Reports from Library of Congress. This information has recently been updated.


The Law Library of Congress is proud to present a new report, Germany: Electronic Cigarettes.

Electronic cigarettes in Germany are currently not subject to any age-related access restrictions. The Federal Administrative Court concluded recently that nicotine-containing liquids in electronic cigarettes are not medicinal products and therefore can be sold without approval in accordance with the Medicinal Products Act. It is still unclear whether such liquids are covered by tobacco regulations and antismoking laws.
