Abstract

E-cigarettes have become a growing public health and public security concern in Vietnam, particularly among adolescents and young adults. This article examines current efforts to prevent and address their harmful effects, focusing on policy and legal development, public education, school-based prevention, control of production and commercial activities, online sales, violation detection and enforcement, and inter-agency coordination. It identifies key achievements, limitations, and emerging challenges, thereby providing a basis for proposing measures to improve the effectiveness of e-cigarette prevention and control in Vietnam.

Keywords: E-cigarettes, harmful effects, People’s Public Security forces, prevention and control, public security, solutions.
