Kazakhstan's Health Ministry proposes banning the sale and usage of e-cigarettes to protect public health and pedestrians.

According to a report by Kazinform on November 27th, Rosalina Ermekpaeva, the head of Kazakhstan's Ministry of Health's Committee on Health and Epidemiology, has stated that the country's Ministry of Health recommends banning the sale and use of e-cigarettes.
