Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 5 February 2025
1188. Deputy Carol Nolan asked the Minister for Health the timeline for the drafting, publication and introduction of the proposed nicotine inhaling products Bill; and if she will make a statement on the matter. [2832/25]
Amharc ar fhreagraCabinet approval was given on 10 September to proposals for a Bill to further regulate nicotine inhaling products, including a complete ban on disposable vapes. Those proposals are now being drafted with the Office of the Attorney General. Once completed, the draft legislation will require notification at EU level under the Technical Standards Directive (Directive 2015/1535).
At this early stage in the legislative process, I do not have a timeline for the introduction of the measures in the Bill.
