Explanatory Notes
Below the background and reasons for the proposed settlement :
Smoking is the major cause of death and morbidity in the developed world which can be prevented. Smoking is responsible for the deaths of six million people each year in the world, Israel is estimated that about 10,000 people die each year from diseases caused by smoking and exposure to secondhand smoke , and it is known for mortality from traffic accidents , victims of violence and drugs combined. One of the key ingredients that harm the ability to stop smoking is nicotine , an addictive drug and medical poison , causing dependence of cigarette smoking , which is the tool for conveying the drug to the lung smoker and then directly into the bloodstream and brain.
In recent years the " evolution " of smoking products and smoking solutions began to appear alternative tobacco products and cigarette marketing began an "electronic " version is different technology and more dangerous than smoking nicotine .
Electronic cigarette is a relatively new technology product , device similar in shape for the most cigarette , cigar or hookah and consists of three main components - a battery, a heating element and a cartridge. Operation of the instrument is a heating fluid / powder cartridge, and turn them into vapor . The user inhales the vapor into the lungs ( evaporation / vaping ) , in contrast to tobacco products whose use involves burning tobacco and inhaling the smoke (smoking / smoking ) .
The electronic cigarette is not subject to date restrictions legislation in terms of use in a public place and in terms of advertising and marketing ( Comments apply these provisions currently laid the approval of the Knesset ) .
Electronic cigarette and its products is a serious public health risk . The active ingredient nicotine is set to " poison " within the orders relating to toxins Pharmacists Ordinance New Version] - 1981 .
Definition of medical poison :
" Medical Poison " - any material from the Materials specified in the First Schedule , in its simplest form and temperate mixed or other materials, except as is this medicine without a prescription ;
Individual 247 First Schedule of the Ordinance :
" Nicotine and its salts (247) NICOTINUM et SALES"
Pharmacological effects of nicotine on the human body and is toxic. Is recognized as a psychoactive drug and stimulant, causes the release of various substances such as Adrenaline , dopamine is an addictive substance . Nicotine is also used as a spray for agricultural products ( abusive neighbors ) .
Unlike tobacco leaves , the liquid filling of electronic cigarettes containing nicotine has a bulk material ( as filling material should be enough time) and high concentration and as mentioned, is also more toxic than nicotine found in tobacco leaves .
Consequently, unlike the cigarette contains about 1 mg of nicotine in total released during smoking lasts about 7 minutes, Vsig"a concentration can also be 24 mg in 2 ml liquid, and the amount of nicotine with each puff symptoms have is unclear and duration of use may be longer . Agreement indicates that a high total amount of nicotine than regular cigarettes . Also, unlike a cigarette and because of the large amount of filler material , no control and limit the amount of nicotine ( as there is one cigarette , or pack a single ) and the person is at increased risk of poisoning nicotine ( and the person smokes more and more to deliver the amount of costs of stimulation Nicotinrgi brain ) .
There is a lack of uniformity between the quality and safety of electronic cigarettes brands and between items of the same brand . In documented cases of cartridges leaks , lack of uniformity between the concentrations of nicotine electronic cigarettes and bottles filling and concentration mismatch between the actual measured concentration stated . Note that these effects constitute a serious health hazard poisoning , or by swallowing the substance or exposure to liquid body through the skin , and in particular danger to children . In May 2012, Jerusalem occurred the death of a toddler from drinking vial filling of electronic cigarettes .
Electronic cigarettes were also flagged other toxic substances including the following materials :
Propylene Galiakon - propylene glycol material permitted for use in low concentrations in food products but not proven that it is safe exposure breathing Moreover, following exposure to propylene glycol chronic respiratory increase was observed in respiratory symptoms and inflammation in the vocal cords exposed workers that their work environment . Chronic respiratory exposure sites Glicoliim in children may exacerbate asthma , allergic symptoms or inflammation of the nose.
Diatiln Galiakon - Diatiln glycol at a concentration of 1 % mainly affects the kidneys and nervous system . It hurts fertility in rats at a concentration of 3.5 % . More than 600 deaths from poisoning Bdiatiln glycol , particularly with exposure if swallowed .
Nitrosminim ( tobacco specific nitrosamines ) - Nitrosminim kind of NNK and NNN are classified by the Inter Agency - National Research on Cancer carcinogenic in humans ( Group 1 ) . Type were discovered Nitrosminim NAB and NAT which are not classified carcinogenic in humans ( Group 3 ) .
Aldehydes - Aldehydes , including formaldehyde , down into acetaldehyde , Akrlin : Electronic cigarettes were manufactured in Japan. Akrolin may arise as a result of heating of glycerol . Formaldehyde is classified as carcinogenic and probably humans. Akrolin breath causes irritation of the nose , lungs and throat.
Impurities - were also found in tobacco specific impurities : Beta Nicotirin , Anbsain , Mioseamin , materials generated during the use of cigarette
Pharmacological substances - drugs such as rimonabant and -amino - tadalafil .
Another study found that, like a regular cigarette , electronic cigarette makes use of the effect of environmental pollution ( " forced evaporation " Like L"aishon imposed " ) .
Professional opinion of the Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) is that prohibit the marketing electronic cigarettes and warned the public against using the product , and the World Health Organization (WHO ) called on states to beware of these products were found unsafe for use in chronic and include materials carcinogenic or irritant to the lungs , promote legitimacy of smoking and harm efforts to reduce smoking and proved their effectiveness to reduce smoking or smoking cessation .
Mostly of various brands marketed, according to a survey conducted in the country, as an alternative to regular cigarettes , especially in places where smoking is not allowed . Sometimes these products are marketed using a misleading product as smoking cessation aids , no scientific proof of this. Marketing products made by providing a false representation that the electronic cigarette is dangerous and damaging health , without any research or scientific basis , and contrary to the facts mentioned above .
There are a variety of types and brands of electronic cigarettes , from the electronic cigarette disposable sufficient for 500 aspirants to electronic cigarettes a long time , involving the claim of battery and replacement cartridges or filling of the cartridge independently in a variety of materials for filling, which usually involves nicotine , flavorings various aromatic liquid to create steam that simulate smoking , usually propylene glycol .
In addition, electronic cigarettes potential for abuse . Electronic cigarette works through the heating fluid transformation into steam, and can make use of the consumption of dangerous drugs via inhalation into the lungs , as an alternative Lhzrktm . Israel and other Western countries reported on the use of electronic cigarettes consumption of different drugs .
Electronic cigarette is particularly harmful to the population of adolescents. In general , the youth aware of the dangers normal cigarette , this is reflected in reducing smoking among young people start , but are unaware of the serious health hazards relating to electronic cigarettes.
Electronic cigarette famous and markets innovative technology products , and as a substitute for healthy smoking . However when in fact this is a product that is not helpful for smoking cessation , significantly increases the risk of nicotine poisoning , and contains other toxic substances . According to the available data rate product users among young people has doubled in the past year and reached approximately 10 % of high school students in the U.S. and a similar proportion was also found in a preliminary study conducted in Israel .
Accordingly, in many western countries are engaged in the promotion and a new series to deal with the phenomenon of electronic cigarettes before turning more harmful norm . In some countries in the world, is forbidden to use this product, for example in Australia , Brazil, Norway , Singapore, Russia and others , while other states have chosen to allow the marketing of the product only after registering C"tcshir " in accordance with regulatory requirements accepted in relation to drugs , among other proof of safety and effectiveness in use (England, countries Australia , Canada ) .
To deal with new product regulation , the Ministry of Health established a multidisciplinary committee and the office , to examine all aspects of the product and its use and recommend policy .
The committee 's recommendations were presented to the public , representatives of electronic cigarettes were invited to voice their opinion and finally the Health Ministry was considering all opinions and decided to adopt the committee's recommendations - to prohibit the importation and marketing of electronic cigarettes in Israel , as expressed in the draft of these Regulations.
