芬兰烟草政策的目标是到2030年停止使用烟草和其他含尼古丁产品。为此，芬兰对电子烟（电子烟）的监管比其他欧盟（EU）国家更严格，包括禁止描述电子烟液体的味道以及禁止营销电子烟。这篇文章描述了电子烟市场，它的法规和在芬兰执行法规所面临的挑战。本研究使用的材料包括来自烟草控制部门关于零售许可证、产品通知、关于执行法规的指导和决定的数据，以及法院关于电子烟有关销售口味和营销电子烟的上诉的公开文件。立法和立法过程中产生的文件也被使用。电子烟的使用是有限的，因为只有5%的烟草或尼古丁产品零售商拥有零售尼古丁液体的许可证。含有香料但不含尼古丁的液体通常在专门的电子烟商店和网站上作为食品出售。由于电子烟产品的数量和种类繁多，潜在的市场准入通知，烟草控制扩大范围的资源有限，电子烟企业不愿遵守芬兰更严格的法规，导致电子烟企业提起诉讼，阻碍了有效的监管。越来越多的证据表明，规范电子烟的口味以保护年轻人是明智的，尽管并不容易。许多国家目前正在考虑对电子烟进行进一步的监管，欧盟也应该这样做。
The aim of Finnish tobacco policy is to end the use of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products by 2030. Towards that end, the regulation of electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) in Finland is stricter than that in other European Union (EU) countries, including a ban on characterising flavours in e-cigarette liquids as well as on marketing e-cigarettes. This article describes the e-cigarette market, its regulation and the challenges faced in enforcing regulations in Finland. The materials used for this study include data from tobacco control authorities on retail licences, product notifications, and guidance and decisions concerning enforcing regulations, as well as public documents from the courts concerning e-cigarette-linked appeals on selling flavours and marketing e-cigarettes. Legislation and documents produced during legislative processes are also used. Access to e-cigarettes is limited, as only 5% of retailers for tobacco or nicotine products have a licence for retailing nicotine liquids. Liquids containing flavours but without nicotine are commonly sold by specialised e-cigarette shops and websites as foodstuffs. Effective regulation is hampered by the enormous number and variety of e-cigarette products notified for potential market access, limited resources for tobacco control to expand in scope and reluctance of the e-cigarette business to comply with the stricter regulations in Finland, resulting in court cases filed by e-cigarette businesses. Mounting evidence suggests that regulating flavours in e-cigarettes to protect youth is wise although not easy. Many counties are currently considering further regulations on e-cigarettes and so should the EU.
