Over the past year, the number of patients with respiratory diseases has increased by 30%.
Over the past year, the number of patients with respiratory diseases has increased by 30%. Most often, such violations are detected in adolescents and young people under 35 years. This was reported by the Chairman of the state Duma Vyacheslav Volodin in “Max”.
According to the speaker, the increase in the number of such diseases indicates the need to disclose information about the composition of tobacco and nicotine-containing products. This issue was discussed at the State Duma Council during the consideration of the relevant bill. The document provides for the obligation of manufacturers and sellers of vapes, tobacco products and other nicotine-containing products to provide information about the ingredients included in their composition. This information is now classified as a trade secret.
Volodin said that it is proposed to postpone the entry into force of the law from March 1 to January 1, 2027. The State Duma plans to consider the bill at a plenary session on November 11.
The head of the lower house of parliament also drew attention to the presence of tar, metals, chemicals and toxic compounds in the composition of tobacco products and electronic cigarettes. According to him, their entry into the body can lead to the development of cancer, pathologies of the respiratory system and the cardiovascular system.
Earlier, on November 7, Volodin said that at the moment the authorities of 17 regions of the country have imposed a ban on the sale of vapes. Relevant decisions were taken in the Vologda, Tomsk, Saratov, Smolensk, Nizhny Novgorod, Penza, Ryazan, Ulyanovsk regions, Nenets and Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrugs, Trans-Baikal and Perm territories, North Ossetia, the Republic of Altai, Yakutia, Chuvashia, Udmurtia.
