Russian Health Ministry Backs E-Cigarette Warning Initiative

The Russian Ministry of Health is supporting an initiative to provide information on the dangers of electronic cigarette use. According to news agency RIA Novosti, the Ministry is preparing to develop a corresponding draft.

Sergei Leonov, the Deputy Minister of Health Protection for the National Duma, reported that the LDPR is developing a bill. The legislation will require electronic cigarettes to feature warning labels that detail the risks of package damage and harmful images.

In a statement, the Ministry of Health expressed its support for initiatives on electronic cigarette packaging that highlight the harms associated with using nicotine products, similar to the warnings on tobacco product packaging.

Earlier, Marine Gambaryan, an expert from the Ministry of Health, advocated for a ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes in Russia. She emphasized that without restrictions on their sale, it would not be possible to achieve the goal of reducing tobacco consumption in the country.
