The new legislation aims to restrict the use and sale of e-cigarettes and other tobacco products in Portugal.
A new bill will ban smoking in outdoor spaces near public buildings such as schools, colleges and hospitals. It will also tighten controls on the sale and marketing of cigarettes and other tobacco products in the country.
According to EuroNews, the aim is that by 2025 they will only be available in tobacco shops, gas stations and airports.
If enacted, it will no longer be possible to sell tobacco directly or through vending machines in places such as restaurants, bars, concert halls and venues, casinos, fairs and exhibitions. These products will also be banned at the festival.
Portugal also complies with the European Directive of 29 June 2022, which places heated tobacco products on an equal footing with other tobacco products.
