Sweden’s Supreme Administrative Court has decided that e-cigarettes are not medical products, overturning a previous decision from judicial decision allowing the country’s Medical Products Agency to ban e-cigarette sales, according to TheLocal.SE.com. Previously the drug agency had been able to ban sales, but the court’s ruling said, “To be a medical product, it must have the ability to prevent or treat a disease and, therefore, provide a beneficial effect on human health.”
Since e-cigarettes “do not contain instructions on how they could be used to reduce the consumption of cigarettes or nicotine addiction,” the court decided that it would lift the restriction.
