Aim To assess patterns of active and passive exposure to ENDS in Russian population. Methods Data from Russian tobacco control policy evaluation survey (2017-2018) are analysed, conducted on the basis of multistage territorial random sample of 11625 respondents: 6569 smokers, 2377 former smokers and 2679 never smokers 18years and older in 10 Russian Federal subjects. Results 38.8% of the respondents were familiar with ENDS, with the highest proportion in the youngest age group (18-24): 53.8%(p Conclusions Young people are mostly exposed to ENDS in Russia. Strong legislation should be considered to regulate ENDS and protect people from their exposure.

ENDS do not help smokers to quit: vast majority of smokers who used ENDS for this purpose failed to give up both smoking and electronic cigarettes.
