En Macedonia, el 2 de mayo de 2019, el Presidente firmó un decreto que formaliza la adopción de la nueva Ley sobre el Tabaco, la cual incluye una categoría separada para los productos de tabaco calentado y los cigarrillos electrónicos, y exige advertencias sanitarias diferenciadas para esta categoría en comparación con los cigarrillos. No se requieren advertencias sanitarias en los dispositivos de cigarrillos electrónicos. Se define “fumar” como el uso de un producto de tabaco combustible. Se exigirá notificación previa a la comercialización para los productos de tabaco calentado y autorización previa a la comercialización para los cigarrillos electrónicos.

The European Union (EU) Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) 2016 Changes to the EU TPD
- No Fire, No Smoke: The Global State of Tobacco Harm Reduction
The TPD is a Directive of the EU which means that all EU countries must ‘transpose’ or incorporate the TPD requirements into their national laws. The only flexibility permitted is the ability to enact additional regulations. The current Directive entered into force on 19th May 2014 and became applicable in the EU Member States on 20th May 2016.
In 2014 a revised Tobacco Products Directive known as TPD 2 was issued by the EU to update the 2001 Tobacco Products Directive. TPD2 regulates all tobacco products in the European Union and its scope is wide. It covers product regulation in terms of reporting obligations of ingredients and emissions for all tobacco products. It includes product packaging and labelling including the size and appearance of products, traceability features to be fixed onto packaging as well as health warnings. It covers cross-border advertising of tobacco products; it reinforces the ban on oral tobacco products (snus), but importantly it provides for the placing on the market of e-cigarettes and refill containers, as well as making provision for notification of novel tobacco products. It also provides for herbal cigarettes.
