Russian Official Calls for Legislation Banning E-Cigarettes for Health Reasons
Russian official Vitaly Milonov calls for legislative ban on e-cigarettes, citing health risks and widespread availability.

According to Gazeta, on July 29th, Vitaly Milonov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Family, Protection of Children's Rights, Motherhood, and Fatherhood in Russia, proposed that e-cigarettes should be banned at the legislative level. He believes that the widespread use of e-cigarettes is like a plague and warns of its harmful effects on health.


Milonov emphasized in the NSN news center: "Our country has entered an e-cigarette epidemic, with these products being sold in every corner." He pointed out that currently there is no clear research showing the specific health damages caused by e-cigarettes, but there are some concerning signals emerging. Milonov believes the main issue is that people become addicted to e-cigarettes faster, despite the fact that the smell of e-cigarettes is not as unpleasant as regular cigarettes, they can lead smokers to quickly become dependent on "large amounts of nicotine.


Previously, doctors warned that the "spice" (synthetic cannabinoids) and heavy metals in e-cigarettes have carcinogenic effects on the endocrine glands. E-cigarette vapor contains over 30 dangerous substances, many of which, such as propylene glycol, can accumulate in the body, causing allergies and producing purulent infections, damaging liver and kidney function.
