Saudi Arabia to curb e-cigarette imports

  • Saudi Arabia: Tuesday, August 04 - 2009 at 10:42

Saudi Arabia's ministries of trade and industry and health are studying ways to curb the entry of banned electronic cigarette devices, known as 'e-cigarettes', into the kingdom, The Peninsula has reported. The move comes after the issuance of a warning on the use of these devices by the US Food and Drug Administration, which had said they contain harmful carcinogenic and toxic substances, notably diethylene glycol, a toxic chemical used in antifreeze. 'E-cigarettes', which sell for around SR500, are manufactured in China to be marketed globally, mainly in Europe.
