The use of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in public places is not subject to regulation or control. E-cigarettes are not caught by smoke-free places legislation under the Health Act 2006. There are no current plans in England to restrict the use of e-cigarettes in public places. Some employers, owners, or managers of establishments and venues have chosen to prohibit the use of e-cigarettes on their premises.<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
<\/p>
The Department does not currently collect data on the number of e-cigarettes sold in the United Kingdom. From May 2016, the revised Tobacco Products Directive will require manufacturers and importers of e-cigarettes and refill containers to notify the Government prior to placing products on the market.<\/p>
