Nope
The latest amendments to the law “Amending some laws of Ukraine regarding public health protection from the harmful effects of tobacco” dated 16 December 2021 include some that have entered into force recently, on 11 July 2022.
The provisions that have entered into force on 11 July are aimed at protecting the citizens from second-hand tobacco as well as from emissions and smoke of novel and emerging tobacco products and nicotine products. The new provisions ban the smoking of heated tobacco products and other herbal products for smoking inside the public places. Moreover, the provisions of the Law prohibit smoking rooms on premises of companies of all forms of ownership and empower local authorities to determine additional smoke-free places.
Since 2012, smoking of tobacco products, hookahs and e-cigarettes has been prohibited in workplaces, but smoking areas have been allowed. Starting from 11 July, 100% of workplaces in Ukraine are free of heated tobacco products and herbal products for smoking. Smoking on the workplaces is forbidden.
Moreover, the provisions of the Law prohibit smoking rooms on premises of companies of all forms of ownership and empower local authorities to go beyond the requirements of the national law and determine additional smoke-free places.
Both the offending smokers and the business entities where the offense is committed are responsible for the violation of the Law. The compliance with smoke-free legislation by individuals is controlled by the National Police. The compliance with the smoking ban by business entities is monitored by the State Service of Ukraine on Food Safety and Consumer Protection.
According to the Law, on 1 June 1 2022, a 30% text health warning was introduced on both sides of packages of e-cigarettes and e-liquids for e-cigarettes, with and without nicotine. The definition of “tobacco products” has also changed on 1 July 2022, in accordance with Law of Ukraine No. 1019-IX, and they now include heated tobacco products (such as “glo” or “IQOS”). Heated tobacco products have therefore become subject to all provisions of the current legislation.
