According to a report by VietnamPlus, a study has shown that teenagers who vape are causing more people to be hospitalized for mental illness, hallucinations, or respiratory failure. As a result, the Ministry of Health of Vietnam is once again urging the ban of all new tobacco products.
Nguyen Thi Thu Huong, an official from the Tobacco Control Fund of Vietnam's Ministry of Health, has reported that a recent study has found an increase in the proportion of students using e-cigarettes, rising from 2.6% in 2019 to 3.5% in 2021.
Nguyen Huu Hoang, a lecturer at the Medical Education Center of Ho Chi Minh City University, says that electronic cigarette devices resemble USB drives, pens, or pencil cases, which makes it difficult for parents to spot and prevent their children from using them. The attractive, trendy, and modern designs of these devices also pique the curiosity and excitement of young people.
According to a report by VN Express International, the Vietnamese Ministry of Health has proposed a ban on the use of Next Generation Tobacco Products (NGP) in November. The current tobacco control law in the country lacks regulations for electronic cigarettes and heated tobacco products.
