More than 50% say that the state must not allow this industry to interfere in decision-making regarding public health policies and smoking,” Pavel Antonov stated for the BNR's Horizont channel.

Again in an interview for Horizont channel, Dr. Alexander Simidchiev, chair of the Air for Health Association stated, that there is no proof that modern inhalator tobacco products are any safer.
