The Kazakhstani parliament has approved a bill banning the import and sale of e-cigarettes, introducing criminal liability for violators. The legislation also prohibits advertising non-tobacco products, hookah, heated tobacco products, herbal blends, e-liquid, and the use of brand logos and known non-tobacco and e-cigarette names in product advertising. The introduction of new rules involving criminal liability is expected to significantly impact the e-cigarette industry, according to industry insiders.
