According to the results of a global survey on youth smoking conducted by the Health Science Practice Center under the Belarusian Ministry of Health in 2021, more than 15% of Belarusian students use e-cigarettes.
Sergei Diorditsa, the head of the World Health Organization office in Belarus, stated in an interview with BelTA news agency that "electronic cigarettes contain nicotine just like regular cigarettes.
Experts point out that using nicotine during adolescence may lead to a lack of focus, impaired memory, learning and self-control abilities, as well as an increased risk of addiction to other drugs and substances.
Dioaldića argued that "the use of electronic cigarettes increases the risk of heart and lung diseases. Therefore, do not be swayed by advertising and try to compare e-cigarettes with smoking to find their advantages.
