2Firsts, September 23, 2025 - According to news.mail.ru on September 22, the Committee of the Republic of Belarus discussed the issue of improving the legal regulation of the electronic cigarette system and its circulation and use (consumption).
The meeting pointed out that the National Assembly often receives requests to ban e-cigarettes and take measures to prevent children and adolescents from developing this harmful habit. In addition, it is long overdue to establish appropriate laws and regulations in this area, with the aim of promoting national health development and protecting citizens' rights.

Inhaling e-liquid can lead to decreased attention, increased anxiety, DNA damage, as well as consequences such as cancer, heart disease, depression, and increased risk of addiction.
