Marina Gambaryan, the director of the national center for prevention and control of tobacco consumption in Russia's Ministry of Health, stated that the goal of tobacco control cannot be achieved without banning the free sale of electronic cigarettes.
She stated that Russia is currently implementing a national policy aimed at reducing the consumption of tobacco and other nicotine-related products. The objective is to systematically decrease the number of smokers and gradually remove tobacco products from public circulation, in order to lower the incidence and mortality rates associated with smoking-related diseases.
Gambaryan stated that in order to achieve national goals, not only must the consumption of conventional cigarettes be systematically reduced, but also the consumption of electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products. According to her, these products are also harmful to health as they contain synthetic and highly toxic nicotine. Nicotine from electronic cigarettes is dispersed through aerosols and easily absorbed into the bloodstream via the mouth, reaching the brain's receptors at a faster rate than nicotine from cigarettes, leading to a rapid and sustained addiction to nicotine.
Earlier, the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade stated that a complete ban on e-cigarettes would not be advisable as it would lead to budget losses and the formation of a black market. In order to combat counterfeits, the department proposed the introduction of mandatory electronic labeling regulations.
