Abstract
Popularity of electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) is increasing in Russia. Still little is known about the situation with ENDS in the country. Aim: To assess the exposure of population to advertisement, promotion of ENDS in Russia, and attitudes and beliefs of the population regarding these products. Methods: Data from Russian Tobacco Control Law Evaluation Survey (June – August 2017) were analysed. 11699 randomly selected respondents from 4320 households in 5 Subjects of Russian Federation were interviewed and a stratified sample (n=5289 aged≥18 years) of smokers (n=3228), former smokers (n=1012) and never smokers (n=1049) participated in the survey. Results: In past 6 month 19.6% of the respondents were exposed to promotion of ENDS via internet, 18.4% - at the points of sale, 18.1% - via social networks. The other sources of advertisement had lesser contribution in marketing and promotion of ENDS. Exposure of the youngest age group (18-24) to e-cigarettes promotion was 2-3 times higher compared to the other age groups – via all sources (p 61% of respondents believe that the second hand vape of e-cigarettes is harmful for health of people. Majority agreed that is necessary to regulate allowed amounts of the nicotine in e-liquids (65.4%), ban the aromatic supplements (56,5%), ban vaping in public places where tobacco smoking is banned (70.6%), ban the sales of these products to minors (82%), and the use of e-cigarettes by those(83,7%). 77,6% support the need for ban of all forms of advertisement, marketing and promotion of ENDS. The Findings: will be used to support new strong legislation to regulate ENDS in Russia.
