Į rinką įvedant el. cigaretes buvo tikimasi, jog jos padės lengviau mesti rūkyti suaugusiems asmenimis. Atsitiko taip, jog Lietuvoje el. cigaretės tapo itin lengvai prieinamos nepilnamečiams ir negana to, jie pradėjo svaigintis sintetinėmis bei sunkiosiomis psichoaktyviomis medžiagomis, pildami jas į el. cigaretes. Tyrimai aiškiai rodo, jog svaiginimasis turi ilgalaikes pasekmes funkciniams ir struktūriniams smegenų sistemos pokyčiams, o jauname amžiuje šie pokyčiai yra itin greiti ir gali būti negrįžtami. Atkreipiu dėmesį, jog minėtas nepilnamečių svaiginimasis turės ilgalaikes pasekmes ne tik šiems vaikams ir mums - jų tėvams, tačiau ilgalaikėje perspektyvoje ir LR valstybei.
National Institute on Drug Abuse (https://nida.nih.gov) yra JAV valstybinis institutas, kuris atlieka daugiausiai tyrimų visame pasaulyje, tyrinėjant psichoaktyvias medžiagas ir jų keliamą žalą. šio instituto direktorė kalba apie psichoaktyvias medžiagas ir pagrindinį rizikos veiksnį – prieinamumą, dėl kurio šiuo metu drebinama Lietuvos vaikų gerovė. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6910640/

Atsižvelgdamas į nuolat renkamus argumentus dėl elektroninių cigarečių daromos žalos sveikatai (žr. tyrimų ataskaitas žemiau po laišku) ir jų pildymo įvairiais narkotikais, Vaiko teisių apsaugos tarnybos fiksuojamais nesmurtiniais vaiko teisių pažeidimais (kurių daugumą sudaro besisvaiginantys nepilnamečiai vartojantys el. cigaretes su sintetinių narkotikų skysčiais), ligoninių personalo, kuris nuolat gaivina apsinuodijusius nepilnamečius, bei policijos, kuri gaudo pardavinėjančius nepilnamečius, prašau nedelsiant uždrausti pildomų elektroninių cigarečių importą bei pardavimą Lietuvos Respublikoje dėl nekontroliuojamos padėties. Atkreipiu dėmesį, kad bendrovių, pardavinėjančių el. cigaretes tiek apyvarta, tiek pelnas auga kartais per metus, kas aititinka mokslinių tyrimų teiginius apie spartų jų vartojimo plitimą rinkoje.
