According to Central Asia media reports, Mongolia has strengthened its regulations on the sale of e-cigarettes to minors, and this new regulation will be implemented from now on.
It is understood that in recent years, Mongolian teenagers aged 13-15 are generally interested in e-cigarettes. For this reason, Mayor Njambataryn Hishgee of Ulaanbaatar City issued a ban on the sale of e-cigarette products to teenagers under the age of 18. .
According to a survey by the Ulaanbaatar Education Department, 8,938 school-age children in Ulaanbaatar smoke e-cigarettes. Among them, male students account for 77.6% and female students account for 22.4%. Due to the huge risk to young people, the mayor ordered a strict ban on the sale of e-cigarette products to teenagers under the age of 18.
Commercial companies and related personnel who violate the new regulations will face administrative penalties, and in serious cases, company activities may be suspended. This is to prevent the sale of similar products to minors.
