According to a report from Mosregtoday on August 7th, e-cigarette sellers in the Russian region of Autumnmind have admitted to selling e-cigarettes to adolescents despite a ban.
According to statistics, 90% of e-cigarette users are underage.
Russian law prohibits the sale of e-cigarettes to children and bans the sale of such products near schools. However, sellers frequently violate these requirements.
Some store employees in the area have stated that management does not oppose selling e-cigarettes to teenagers. There is an unwritten rule that prohibits sales to children but allows sales to teenagers who appear to be at least 18 years old. Management does not require identification to be provided.
Our interest is to increase revenue, and teenagers are also customers.
Students also admit that it is not difficult to purchase e-cigarettes. Fourteen-year-olds can easily purchase them without any obstacles.
Even fifth-grade students in our school are smoking this kind of cigarette.
Doctors are concerned about this trend. They refute claims that e-cigarettes are safer than regular cigarettes and state that manufacturers are making every effort to attract underage consumers.
