The problem of electronic cigarette accessibility
According to the parliamentarian, despite legislative restrictions, electronic cigarettes continue to be sold freely and used in public places, including parks and schools. The deputy drew particular attention to the fact that minors can easily purchase these products, and vape use is observed in both Bishkek and the regions.
