The bill, covering disposable vapes with and without nicotine, would widen the ban beyond under-18s to include adults and also restrict nicotine pouches.
Government spokesman Adam Szłapka said the measures were needed to address wider social harms.
Health ministry officials argue that nicotine-free vapes pose risks comparable to their nicotine-containing counterparts, warning that their popularity increases young people's exposure to tobacco products just as much as standard disposable e-cigarettes do.
Data from Poland's National Institute of Public Health show disposable vapes are most popular among 18-to-24-year-olds, with many users reporting first use before the age of 18.
Under the proposed law, nicotine pouches would only remain on sale in tobacco flavour.
The World Health Organization (WHO) has warned that mint, fruit and sweet flavourings make such products particularly appealing to young people.
The legislation would also strengthen market oversight, giving the Head of the Bureau for Chemical Substances powers to commission independent testing of e-cigarette liquids and emissions.
Separately, new nicotine products, including gums, tablets, aerosols and drinks intended for recreational use, would be required to go through pharmaceutical approval before reaching the market.
