Became aware of a sharp increase in the number of lung diseases in Russia

In Russia over the past twelve months, a thirty percent increase in the number of patients diagnosed with pathologies of the respiratory system was recorded, with the main risk group being minors and citizens under the age of 35 years. The head of the State Duma Vyacheslav Volodin said about such negative medical statistics in his official channel on the Max platform.

The chairman of the lower house of parliament drew attention to the fact that classic tobacco products, vapors and vapes contain dangerous resins, heavy metals, as well as other toxic compounds. Getting into the respiratory tract, these chemical components can provoke the development of deadly diseases, including malignant tumors, chronic lung diseases and dysfunction of the cardiovascular system.

To minimize these risks and ensure the safety of the population, State Duma deputies plan to discuss a new draft law at a plenary session on November 11. The regulation imposes on importers, manufacturers and distributors of nicotine-containing products a strict obligation to fully decipher all components and additives present in their products.

Vyacheslav Volodin in his publication emphasized that the transparency of data on tobacco formulation is of strategic importance. In this regard, the parliamentarians proposed to postpone the implementation of these rules to an earlier period, forcing the law to work not from the initial March 1, 2027, but from January 1, 2027.

It should be noted that according to the current rules, representatives of the tobacco industry are required to submit annual reports to the relevant ministry on the composition of cigarettes and volatile substances released during smoking. However, business actively uses a legal loophole, hiding a significant part of this information under the classification of commercial secrets, which makes it impossible to publish and familiarize with them to the general public.

Volodin reported on the results of tightening migration policy.

In the state Duma told what laws come into force in November.
