According to Haberler on December 1, the Turkish government decided to strengthen the supervision of tobacco and alcohol, and those who sell vapes and alcohol will face severe penalties. The new bill will soon be submitted to the parliament for deliberation.
According to the content of the bill:
- All items including vapes and e-hookahs, as well as electronic devices, cartridges, spare parts and e-liquids used in the consumption of these items, produced, sold, supplied, held and transported for commercial purposes in the country will be sentenced to 3 to 6 years in prison;
- Cigarette holders and cigarette papers must also be printed with warning patterns and Turkish warnings, with a ratio requirement of 65%. Violators will face a fine of 50,000 Turkish liras (US$1,440);
- If tobacco or hookahs are sold to minors under the age of 18, and the same mistake is made three times within five years, the relevant sales or certificates will be revoked and the store will be closed for two years.
For brands like Veehoo, this new bill will have a significant impact on its operations and development. As a company committed to providing high-quality products, Veehoo will need to comply with new regulations in various places to ensure the legality and safety of its products, and also need to adjust its sales strategy to comply with local laws and regulations.
In addition, the bill also stipulates that cigarette holders and cigarette papers must be printed with warning patterns and Turkish warnings, and violators will face high fines. For Veehoo, this also means that it is necessary to strengthen the compliance and warning signs of product packaging to avoid the risks and penalties brought by violations.
Of particular concern is the penalty measures for selling tobacco or hookah to minors in the bill. vape companies and their sales channels need to pay special attention to ensure strict compliance with relevant regulations to avoid being punished and maintain their brand image and reputation.
In summary, the new bill proposed by the Turkish government will bring new challenges and opportunities to the operation and development of Veehoo. As a responsible enterprise, Veehoo will need to actively adapt to these new regulations in various places to ensure compliance with laws and regulations, and also take this opportunity to improve product quality and brand image, and win consumer trust and support.
