Lithuania Background
Datos obtenidos: 2024.   Página actualizada: 2025-11-05

En Lituania, los cigarrillos electrónicos son legales y están regulados como productos de tabaco. Se pueden adquirir en tiendas minoristas, pero está prohibida la venta por internet, así como realizar declaraciones de salud sobre estos productos. La publicidad está sujeta a regulaciones y existen límites para las actividades promocionales. El impuesto especial aplicado a los cigarrillos electrónicos equivale hasta un 10% de la tasa impuesta a los cigarrillos convencionales. Según estas normativas, es necesario notificar sobre nuevos productos antes de su entrada al mercado, y los envases deben ser a prueba de niños y de manipulaciones. Es obligatoria la inclusión de advertencias sanitarias en los empaques, y la venta se restringe a personas mayores de 18 años. Además, hay restricciones sobre los sabores y el contenido de nicotina en los líquidos no puede superar los 20 mg/ml. La capacidad de los tanques está limitada a 2 ml como máximo, y el vapeo está legalmente restringido en espacios públicos. Las estadísticas indican que en 2023 se estimaba que había 109,500 personas que vapeaban actualmente en Lituania. La prevalencia actual de vapeo en adultos era del 5%, incluyendo un 6% entre mujeres y un 9.3% entre hombres. El uso diario en 2021 fue reportado por el 3.5% de los adultos, incluyendo el 2.3% entre mujeres y el 3.1% entre hombres. Además, el 15% de los adultos en 2017 respondió que había probado los cigarrillos electrónicos al menos una vez. Respecto a la percepción pública, una encuesta de 2017 reveló que el 80% de los adultos en Lituania creen que los cigarrillos electrónicos son igual o más perjudiciales que los cigarrillos tradicionales, mientras que el 11% los considera menos perjudiciales y el 9% no estaba seguro.
