The National Assembly has officially passed a decision to completely ban electronic cigarettes, heated tobacco products, and other new tobacco products in Vietnam starting from 2025. This marks a significant step toward minimizing the health and social harms caused by these tobacco products.

Electronic cigarettes and new tobacco products are becoming increasingly popular, especially among young people. However, studies have shown that these products contain numerous harmful substances, pose a high risk of addiction, and lead to severe health issues, including cardiovascular and respiratory diseases.

Banning these products not only protects public health but also helps reduce the healthcare burden and social costs associated with tobacco use. It also demonstrates Vietnam’s strong commitment to building a healthy, smoke-free living environment.
