Hungary: An amendment to tobacco legislation to address a legal loophole that causes herbal nicotine-free sticks compatible with heating devices intended for heated tobacco consumption being sold outside national tobacco shops is currently being considered, local press reports.

The amendment will presumably only seek to include these herbal nicotine-free products within the retail restrictions set out in the tobacco legislation.1st April 2022
