Monaco Tightens Tobacco Regs, Raises Legal Age to 18

In an effort to “protect young people,” Monaco’s 18 National Council members unanimously adopted a bill that raises the age to buy tobacco products from 16 to 18, extends the number of places where smoking is banned, and bans disposable electronic devices. Bill 1104 amends Law 1346.

Over the months, the bill, with its 14 articles, has been the subject of numerous amendments in response to several observations “testifying to a convergence of views between the institutions.”
