Stricter Tobacco Regulations Introduced in Switzerland to Protect Youth
As of October 1, Switzerland has enacted stricter tobacco regulations, restricting the sale of tobacco products, including e-cigarettes and Snus, to individuals over 18. This new law aims to better protect children and adolescents from harmful products. However, there are concerns about online retailers not properly verifying ages, allowing minors access to these products. The company Snushus faced criticism after a minor successfully purchased Snus online. While authorities acknowledge gaps in enforcement, they remind retailers of their responsibilities to prevent underage sales.
