Putin Expresses Concern Over Youth E-Cigarette Use in Russia
Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed concerns about youth e-cigarette use during a lecture in Tuvakzyle. Law to ban e-cigarettes submitted.

According to a report on September 2nd by Life.Ru, Russian President Vladimir Putin expressed concern over the use of e-cigarettes by teenagers.


During a "keynote lecture" held at a school in Tuwakzile city that day, a participant suggested raising e-cigarette taxes and using the revenue to build sports facilities.


In response, Putin said that teenagers using e-cigarettes is a matter worthy of attention.


It is very valid for you to be concerned about teenagers using these e-cigarettes. Indeed, it is something worth worrying about.


According to reports, a draft law to ban e-cigarettes has been submitted to the Russian State Duma. At the end of August, the Russian Ministry of Health reported that users of e-cigarettes are at risk of developing a new lung disease called EVALI. This is an acute lung injury directly related to the use of e-cigarettes. Symptoms are similar to those of COVID-19, including fatigue, fever, cough, and shortness of breath.
