Ukrainian legislators passed a new law on August 2 banning the use of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) in public places, as well as banning the advertising, sponsorship and promotion of e-cigarettes. The law also prohibits the sale of flavored e-cigarettes with flavors other than tobacco. According to the Independent Women’s Forum: Ukrainian parliamentarians stated that the reason for enacting these regulations is based on a new report from the World Health Organization, which states that e-cigarettes are smokers. The gateway to traditional cigarettes, and they are just as harmful as traditional cigarettes. The legislator also claimed that the taste ban will reduce the amount of smoking among minors in Ukraine.

However, according to US data on taste bans, this actually increases the use of combustible tobacco products by young people.

In a report on e-cigarettes published on July 27, the WHO affirmed 32 countries that ban the sale and use of e-cigarette devices. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in these 32 countries, people are still free to use combustible tobacco products, which causes more than 7 million deaths globally each year. Advocates of reducing the harm of tobacco and representatives of the e-cigarette industry condemned the WHO report as dangerous and absurd.

United Kingdom Electronic Cigarette Industry Association (UKVIA) Director-General John Dunne said: “WHO has long taken a stand against e-cigarettes, and this report is actually saving millions of lives around the world. The unreasonable attacks of the e-cigarette industry in China are contempt for scientific evidence, common sense, and reducing the harm of tobacco.” said John Britton, a professor of epidemiology at the University of Nottingham: “This report shows that, sadly, the WHO still does not Understand the fundamental difference between smoking addiction, which causes millions of deaths each year, and nicotine addiction. The former causes millions of deaths each year, while the latter does not.
