The research work deals with the problem of the use of nicotine-containing products (NCP) by means of various pods and other electronic nicotine delivery systems by adolescents in the Novosibirsk region. The composition of nicotine-containing liquids was analyzed, chemical elements, including heavy metals, were identified, and their concentrations in aerosols of popular NCP brands were quantified. A comparison of certain elements between the brands of disposable NCP and conventional cigarettes was carried out. On the basis of a one-time random sample consisting of 4900 students of colleges and higher educational institutions, as well as students of secon¬dary educational schools in the districts of the Novosibirsk region and the city of Novosibirsk, the gender and age component was determined. The article reveals the problems of addiction, multiplicity of consumption, as well as measures to limit the use of electronic NCP. The colossal widespread use of such products among young people is stated. Based on the information and experiences studied, the need for scientific and educational work for adolescents was identified, as well as the need for assistance in quitting the NCP use.
