“Hookah is a popular type of holiday vacation. Many people think that the use of hookah is harmless, but it is the hookah that is fraught with many dangers. First of all, we are talking about the new coronavirus infection COVID-19, ”the ministry said in a statement.
The Ministry of Health clarified that with poor processing of hookah flasks, the spread of "tuberculosis, cholera and other dangerous diseases" is possible.
On July 31, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed a law under which anti-smoking legislation, including administrative fines, will be extended to vapes, hookahs and snus.
