Minors who use tobacco, the age is reduced to 11 years in Albania

Albanian teenagers are always more and more inclined towards the consumption of tobacco. Health experts have come to the conclusion that this phenomenon has been increasing among children aged 11, 13 and 15 at a time when the use of cigarettes under 18 has been banned.

"The latest study shows 22% boys, which is a very high figure from the age of 13-15, and 9.9% girls, when studies in adults show that they are lower. 85% of those who smoke in their lives, men and women, start before the age of 18, so this is the most delicate moment, this age group must be blocked," said Roland Shuperka, public health expert, "Vizon plus" reports.

The use of electronic cigarettes has also increased, which has become a disturbing phenomenon among teenagers. " They are very harmful that are sold near schools. it is a problem that should be given a lot of attention, " he said.
