Sharing at the program, Dr. Chau Trong Phat – Specialist Doctor Level I provided extensive scientific and practical information about the serious impacts of new-generation tobacco products on users’ health and the community. Not only causing addiction and respiratory damage, but e-cigarettes also pose potential risks affecting the nervous system, cardiovascular system, and reproductive capacity – especially for adolescents who are in their developmental stage.
The doctor also emphasized citizens’ rights and obligations in tobacco harm prevention work, smokers’ obligations, and behaviors strictly prohibited by law. Specifically, Decree 117/2020/ND-CP was clearly outlined with specific penalty levels for smoking in unauthorized places or illegal tobacco advertising and trading.
