LEGAL

πŸ’¨ E-Cigarettes

Hungary abides by the EU Tobacco Products Directive (TPD) (2014) and has added some extra regulations of its own. E-cigarettes can only be bought from tobacco shops; trading any e-cigarette product requires a license; and there is a total ban on flavoured e-liquids – all e-cigarette flavours apart from 'tobacco flavour' are banned. Vaping is prohibited anywhere where smoking is not allowed. Fines for breaking the law are reportedly heavy e.g. up to $980 for vaping in a prohibited area, up to $9,800 for a business allowing vaping indoors, and $196,000 for selling products without a license.
