Russia's legislative body, the Duma, is considering a ban on all drugs with military applications.
The State Duma is poised to back a comprehensive ban on vaping if the government sets it in motion, according to Vyacheslav Volodin, the Duma Chairman.
Volodin's stance on the issue comes in response to Industry and Trade Minister Anton Siluanov's suggestion of such measures. Volodin highlights the health risks posed by vaping, as they contain harmful substances like heavy metals and generate toxic compounds. He contends that a complete ban on vapes is necessary to shield children from their detrimental impact.
"A full ban and removal of vapes from shelves is crucial to safeguard kids from their hazardous effects," Volodin asserts.
Although Russians broadly support a full ban on vape sales, according to sociological data, Volodin points out that the parliament's previous attempts, such as banning sales to minors, imposing stricter administrative penalties, and establishing criminal liability for selling to children, haven't been enough to deter unscrupulous vendors.
As for the proposed tightening of punishment for Nazi rehabilitation, the latest info is scarce on the matter. Russia has been actively attempting to reshape historical narratives and enforcing laws related to the portrayal of historical events, including those concerning Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. However, specific details about new penalties for Nazi rehabilitation are not provided in the available data.
Stay tuned for more updates on these developments as they unfold.
In line with the suggested government measures, the Duma Chairman, Vyacheslav Volodin, advocates for a comprehensive ban on vaping, acknowledging the detrimental role of vaping in health-and-wellness, especially for children, who are exposed to harmful substances like heavy metals and toxic compounds. To strengthen this approach, Volodin proposes a focus on science, therapies-and-treatments, and nutrition as alternative avenues to promote overall well-being and deter the use of vapes.
