The Netherlands extended tobacco and nicotine product sales restrictions and banned sales of disposable e‑cigarettes as part of strengthened tobacco‑control measures introduced nationally in 2023–2024; retail sales to persons under 18 are unlawful across all nicotine products, and specific measures target disposable single‑use vapes by prohibiting their sale and limiting flavours and packaging to reduce youth uptake. Retailers face inspections, fines and product confiscation for non‑compliance; enforcement includes consumer‑protection and public‑health authorities working with municipalities. Vendors and consumers should consult the Dutch government and local municipal ordinances for exact timelines and product classes covered by the disposable‑vape measures.
