Russian doctors warn of danger of fake e-cigarettes
Russian doctors believe that most domestic electronic cigarettes are counterfeit and pose greater danger than traditional cigarettes.

Russian doctors believe that almost all of the electronic cigarettes available in the domestic market are counterfeit and that e-cigarettes are much more dangerous than traditional cigarettes.


Experts believe that addressing the issue of illegal products will help with regulation. However, so far, the demand for e-cigarettes among young people is still high and sales have not decreased. Russia began an e-cigarette labeling experiment on February 15th and it is expected to end on March 1st.


The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed that electronic cigarettes be mandatorily labeled from November 1, 2022, ahead of schedule.
