New People MP Dmitry Panov called it a "universal evil" and said children, regardless of age, were in favor of the ban. The head of the "United Russia" faction Pavel Krupnik also said that his sons and friends want to ban vapes as soon as possible. Only the communist Alexander Rasdov opposed the changes.
