Russia's Habarovsk Region Refuses to Implement E-Cigarette Ban
The legislative council in Russia's Khabarovsk region rejects e-cigarette ban, citing impracticality and potential black market risks.

The telegram channel of the legislature of the Khabarovsk region in Russia recently stated that the region will not implement a ban on the sale of e-cigarettes, as they believe this measure is impractical.

 

Lawmakers emphasized that e-cigarettes are now being treated equally with other nicotine-containing products, and all restrictions align with those related to tobacco consumption bans. They reasonably inferred that the ban may not have the intended effect and could potentially lead to the sale of unauthorized products.

 

One of the main reasons for the widespread use of e-cigarettes among children and teenagers is the lack of parental supervision and their encouragement.

 

The Russian Consumer Rights Protection Supervisory Authority is responsible for overseeing the enforcement of sales regulations.

 

According to reports, the region of Khabarovsk is located in the Russian Far East, bordering the northeastern region of China.

Philippine Tobacco Control Coalition Backs Raising Legal Age for Vape and Tobacco Products to 25
A coalition of health and child rights advocates in the Philippines said it supports Health Secretary Teodoro Herbosa’s call to raise the legal age restriction for vape and tobacco products from 18 to 25. The group said scientific evidence shows that the brain of a young person continues to develop until the mid-20s, and that nicotine exposure during that period can cause lasting impairment in impulse control, learning, and mood regulation.

Goldman Sachs Managing Director Bonnie Herzog said the U.S. nicotine market is attractive and growing, with total revenue projected to reach about $67 billion by 2035. She expects cigarettes to account for a smaller share of revenue (47%) as smoke-free revenue expands and becomes a key driver of industry profit growth. Herzog said smoke-free products represent about 48% of U.S. nicotine volumes today and could rise to roughly 75% by 2035.
