Vietnam to ban e-cigarettes starting 2025

The NA requested the government to carry out the ban, as well as improving people's awareness, especially young people, on the harmful impacts of e-cigarettes.

Previously, Minister of Health Dao Hong Lan said e-cigarettes need to be banned due to its harmful health effects. NA delegates also agreed that policies to ban and tightly monitor illegal sales are necessary.

Despite not being traditional tobacco, e-cigarettes can be addictive due to its high nicotine level, as well as causing several serious diseases, such as cancer, according to the health ministry.
