Doctors Call for a Full Federal Ban on Vapes in Russia
Published
Doctors have called for a complete federal ban on the sale and use of electronic cigarettes, or vapes, in Russia. In their view, such a measure would help protect the health of citizens, especially young people, who often begin using vapes.
In their statements, medics say that vapes contain nicotine and other substances that can harm the body. Many teenagers believe that vapes are safe, so they start smoking electronic cigarettes earlier than conventional ones. Doctors note that a nicotine habit can form quickly and is difficult to quit later.
According to specialists, partial restrictions do not fully solve the problem. They believe that only a general federal ban can make regulation clearer and more effective for the whole country. The issue is being discussed in the professional community and in business circles connected with retail trade.
No final decision on this issue has been made yet. Experts continue to discuss how best to protect public health while also taking into account the interests of manufacturers and sellers.
