Risks from new generation tobacco

TQO - In many localities, cases of poisoning from e-cigarettes are increasing.

Faced with this situation, the Provincial People's Committee issued Document on increasing communication about the harmful effects of e-cigarettes, heated cigarettes, and shisha; Directive document on the implementation of Decision approving the National Strategy on prevention and control of tobacco harms until 2030.

According to the authorities, the most difficult thing in managing and restricting e-cigarettes is that trading activities mainly take place in cyberspace, users form their own groups to exchange and buy and sell. Meanwhile, e-cigarettes are not yet within the scope of regulation of the Law on Prevention and Control of Tobacco Harms. The handling and control are mainly in the field of commodity trading.

The police force will also coordinate with relevant units to increase inspection, especially around schools to ensure a healthy environment for young people.
