Kazakhstan President Calls for Comprehensive Anti-Addiction Plan
Recently, according to BaigeNews.kz, President of Kazakhstan Kasym-Jomart Tokayev requested the government to develop a comprehensive plan to combat addiction during a national conference in Atyrau.
He pointed out that e-cigarettes have caused serious harm to the health of young people and have affected the future of the country. He said:
A legislation currently being discussed in parliament will impose criminal liability on the import, manufacture, and sale of e-cigarettes. I believe that this step will greatly reduce the spread of this trendy addiction.
At the same time, Tokayev stated that a systematic explanation must be provided through the mass media.
As a progressive nation, we must eradicate this outdated practice that not only harms the nation's health, but also has a negative impact on our country's international image.
