A new law which will see a ban on flavoured vapes and limits on the colours used in packaging moved a step closer as it passed through the Dáil.

The Public Health (Tobacco Products and Nicotine Inhaling Products) (Amendment) Bill 2026 passed final stage in the Dáil and will be sent to the Seanad, where it will be debated in July. The Government will receive EU notification in the coming weeks on whether the bill can be enacted before the summer recess.
