Moscow, November 7 (Xinhua) – Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday approved the idea of completely banning the sale of vaping products in the country during a visit to an adaptive sports demonstration and educational center in Samara.

Ekaterina Leshchinskaya, head of the public movement "Healthy Fatherland," asked the president to "order a complete ban on vaping" in Russia. Putin nodded in response.

As State Duma Deputy Speaker Sholban Kara-ool reported to RIA Novosti, deputies were scheduled to begin work on a bill to completely ban vaping in Russia during the fall session.

State Duma Speaker Vyacheslav Volodin later noted that the absolute majority of deputies support a complete ban on the sale of vapes and related e-liquids, and called the measures already taken to combat them half-hearted. He recalled that 265,000 people participated in a survey he conducted on this topic, of which 74 percent supported the ban.

The Union of Enterprises in the Nicotine-Containing Products Industry (SPINI) estimates the total turnover of the electronic nicotine delivery system (ENDS) market in Russia by the end of 2024 at 220-240 billion rubles. –0–

UN, November 7 /Xinhua/ — Damages caused by Hurricane Melissa in Jamaica are estimated at approximately 30 percent of the country's GDP, Kishan Kodai, Resident Representative of the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in the Bahamas, Belize, Bermuda, the Cayman Islands, Jamaica, and Turks and Caicos Islands, said Thursday.

"Preliminary estimates put the damage at approximately 30 percent of Jamaica's GDP, and that figure is expected to rise," Kodai told reporters via video link.

UNDP estimates that nearly 5 million metric tons of debris were generated in western Jamaica after the devastating Category 5 hurricane that hit the country last week, he noted.

UN Secretary-General's Deputy Spokesman Farhan Haq said authorities had confirmed the deaths of 32 people in Jamaica, with the hurricane affecting around 1.5 million people.

UNDP has allocated $400,000 to conduct a baseline damage assessment and provide early support to national partners. The World Food Programme (WFP) is airlifting food from Barbados to support more than 6,000 households for a week, added F. Haque.

Tehran, November 7 (Xinhua) — Iran remains a bona fide party to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT), Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said Thursday during a meeting with students in Hamadan.

According to the Iranian Foreign Ministry, the head of the department cited a fatwa from Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei banning the development of nuclear weapons.

The decision on whether to remain a party to the NPT or withdraw from it was discussed at the highest level, the minister explained.

Commenting on the possibility of resuming nuclear negotiations with the United States, A. Araghchi said that Tehran had negotiated with Washington at various times and on various issues, but had never achieved positive results.

However, he emphasized that Iran has never completely rejected dialogue and diplomacy. "We say that if the United States is ready for honest negotiations on an equal basis, aimed at protecting mutual interests, then so are we. But we don't see such an approach or spirit from the Americans," the minister stated.

Tehran suspended cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in June under a parliamentary law, citing the IAEA's failure to condemn Israeli and US attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities earlier that month and raising concerns about the safety of its facilities and scientists.
