On health protection... (on vape and more...).
Yesterday, the State Duma Council discussed a bill aimed at protecting health.
It is proposed to oblige entrepreneurs who manufacture and sell VAPE, tobacco products and other products containing nicotine to disclose information about the ingredients that are part of them.
Currently, this data is classified as a trade secret.
Tobacco, vapor and electronic cigarettes contain tar, metals, other chemicals and toxic compounds.
Their entry into the body can lead to serious diseases, including oncology, lung diseases and cardiovascular failure.
During the last year, the doctors recorded a 30% increase in the number of patients with damage to the respiratory system.
Most often, teenagers and young people under the age of 35 are affected.
Disclosure of information about the composition of tobacco products and products containing nicotine is extremely important.
We propose to postpone the entry into force of the law to an earlier date - from March 1, 2027 to January 1, 2027.
We plan to discuss this bill tomorrow, November 11, at the State Duma plenary session.
