24 stycznia 2019 roku prezydent Białorusi podpisał dekret nr 2, który zmienił dekret nr 28 z 17 grudnia 2002 roku oraz dekret nr 4 z 18 października 2007 roku, dotyczące regulacji produkcji, obrotu i konsumpcji wyrobów tytoniowych. Nowe przepisy mają na celu ograniczenie dostępności wyrobów tytoniowych oraz zmniejszenie negatywnego wpływu palenia na zdrowie. Dekret obejmuje również regulacje prawne dotyczące produkcji, sprzedaży i użytkowania papierosów elektronicznych oraz wyrobów z podgrzewanym tytoniem. Produkty te będą podlegały przepisom dotyczącym produkcji, sprzedaży i spożycia wyrobów tytoniowych. Prawo do prowadzenia działalności związanej z produkcją i sprzedażą systemów do używania tytoniu, elektronicznych systemów oraz płynów do e-papierosów będą miały wyłącznie białoruskie podmioty gospodarcze. Zabronione będzie eksponowanie na widoku płynów do elektronicznych systemów palenia w witrynach sklepowych i innych punktach sprzedaży. Dekret wprowadza także ograniczenia dotyczące miejsc sprzedaży i używania elektronicznych systemów palenia, zakaz reklamy tych urządzeń oraz sprzedaży płynów do e-papierosów osobom niepełnoletnim.

Current use prevalence of HTP according to the most recent survey in EECA
The use of heated tobacco products mostly follows the trends observed in vaping in the EECA region. Once again, Belarus (3%), Ukraine (3%) and Georgia (2.3%) show a moderate but noteworthy presence of these products and their use. Moldova deviates from this pattern, with HTP use at 2.6%, while current vaping prevalence stands at only 0.7%. Similar to the low vaping prevalence, Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Uzbekistan exhibit low rates of HTP use.
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.
