According to her, it is very important to do everything in order to "protect children, young people from this addiction," which, as the children's ombudsman noted, unfortunately, is perceived by many "as something harmless."

"These devices and the liquids to them do not pass almost any check, they can contain anything. Periodically there are news that they explode, ignite - this is in addition to the harm that they carry, containing some incomprehensible liquid, "Volynets recalled.

In addition, she stressed that even nicotine-free liquids often still contain nicotine. Moreover, components that cannot sometimes be installed cause irreparable harm to health, Volynets said.

"Tightening the rules against vapes is our next victory," the RT interlocutor concluded.

Earlier, the State Duma adopted in the first reading a bill to tighten the rules for the turnover of vapes.

It is noted that it prohibits the sale of vapes to minors, including those without nicotine content, and consumables for them.

In 2022, the Commissioner for Children's Rights in the Republic of Tatarstan, the founder of the National Parents Committee, Irina Volynets, called for a ban on the sale of nicotine-free mixtures for vapes to minors.
