These regulations will apply to all businesses that operate in Scotland.

These regulations will introduce a ban on the sale and supply of:

·        single-use electronic cigarettes that are not rechargeable, not refillable or are neither rechargeable nor refillable

·        single-use electronic cigarettes retaining both nicotine containing e-liquid and non-nicotine containing e-liquid

The restriction will not apply to:

·        devices that are both:

·        (1) refillable by means of a single-use container which is separately available and can be replaced, or a container which can be refilled, and

·        (2) rechargeable by means of a battery which can be recharged, and a coil which is intended to be replaced by an individual user in the normal course of use and is separately available.

Breach of these prohibitions will be an offence under the regulations. The regulations confer powers on enforcement authorities to investigate offences under the regulations, which may then be referred for criminal prosecution.
