The sale of vapors and liquids for them is planned to be banned in Karelia The authorities of the Republic of Karelia are developing a bill to introduce a complete ban on the retail sale of vapors, liquids and other electronic nicotine delivery systems. The initiative was taken by the head of the region, Artur Perpchikov, the press service of the Government of Karelia reported. According to him, vaping has become part of youth culture - it is "mistakenly considered a 'safe' alternative to cigarettes". They also contain nicotine and chemical compounds, which, as Perpchikov noted, "deal a heavy blow to the cardiovascular system and the respiratory system." "Addiction is created quickly and without attention. Preventive talks are no longer enough - concrete solutions are needed," he added. Maxim Stolov / Vodomosti Telegram | maximum.
