Public Awareness Needed on Toxic Substances in Vapes
The deputy speaker of Russia's parliament emphasized the need to inform the public about the toxic substances used in vaping.

According to Vice-Chairman Sholban Kara-ool, it is necessary to make the public aware that the substances used in it are toxic.


MOSCOW, September 26. According to a report from TASS, the ban on vape and electronic smoking products is unlikely to have the desired effect, and it is necessary to make the public aware of the toxic substances used in these products. Sholban Kara-ool, Deputy Speaker of the Russian State Duma and member of the United Russia party, made this point in an interview with TASS on Monday.


It is possible that a ban on electronic cigarettes may be implemented, although the likelihood of it being approved is not very high. It is evident that authorities should prioritize a comprehensive approach and raise public awareness that all of these substances are toxic," said the deputy chair of the cross-party working group, aiming to protect citizens' health from the harms of alcohol, tobacco and drugs.


He stated that it is necessary to "protect the people from the harm of these poisons from 'others' to 'themselves'" and that "this means instilling a positive lifestyle, with sports education and exercise playing a more critical role," Karaul said.
