Health Ministry: Vapes are no less harmful than regular cigarettes
Health Ministry pulmonologist Yevgeny Popov said that vape vapor irritates the lungs less, which leads people to take more puffs, and the volume of harmful substances is comparable to tobacco smoking. He also noted risks of nicotine addiction, heart disease, and gastrointestinal illness. Reminder: from March 1, 2027, regions will be able to temporarily ban vape sales.
