Russian Government Opposes Ban on Nicotine Product Additives
Russian ministries and agencies do not support the ban on nicotine additives in e-cigarettes set to take effect in 2024.

According to a report by Russian business and news agency TASS on November 9th, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade, Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Agriculture, and Russian Alcohol and Tobacco Regulation Bureau do not support the proposed list of additives to ban in nicotine products, which was scheduled to go into effect on March 1, 2024. The list was formulated by the Russian Ministry of Health.

 

According to Viktor Zykov, Deputy Director of the Healthcare Risk Prevention and Dissemination Technology Management at the Central Healthcare Organization and IT Research Institute of the Russian Ministry of Health, in order to eliminate the appeal of e-cigarettes to adolescents, the list of additives prohibited for use in e-cigarettes must be comprehensive and exhaustive.

 

Zelensky stated and emphasized the utmost importance of prioritizing citizen health interests over industrial interests.

 

According to Zikov, smokers who use e-cigarettes are exposed to ultrafine particles and other toxins. This significantly increases their risk of developing cardiovascular disease and chronic lung diseases.
