A seller of electronic hookahs was detained in Dushanbe for selling to minors.
In Dushanbe, police officers detained a 21-year-old local resident on suspicion of selling electronic hookahs to minors.
As reported by the capital’s police, Yusuf Abdirukhimov was detained while selling the products. «It has been established that he deliberately sold electronic hookahs to teenagers for profit,» the Ministry of Internal Affairs stated.
During the search, 87 electronic hookahs were confiscated from him.
An administrative protocol has been drawn up against the detainee under Article 463 (part 3) of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Republic of Tajikistan, and he has been fined.
We recall that earlier, the speaker of the upper house of the Parliament of Tajikistan Rustam Emomali had previously instructed to develop a legislative ban on the use, production, and circulation of electronic cigarettes (vapes) in the country. This instruction was given at the fourth session of the Majlisi milli of the Majlisi Oli RT.
It was noted that the decision was made to protect the gene pool of the nation and the health of the population, primarily teenagers and youth. The active use of electronic cigarettes (vapes) can lead to serious diseases of the respiratory tract, cardiovascular system, and lungs, including oncological diseases, as evidenced by the conclusions of medical specialists.
The chairman of the upper house of parliament emphasized the need for prompt legislative measures to limit the spread of electronic cigarettes and reduce health risks for citizens.
Vapes and IQOS represent different alternatives to smoking cigarettes: a vape vaporizes nicotine-containing liquid with flavorings and can be used with or without nicotine, while IQOS heats tobacco in sticks without burning it, mimicking the taste of traditional tobacco. The main difference is that a vape works with liquids, whereas IQOS works with tobacco.
