00:00Can I ask another question?
00:04Recently, there was a report on the sale of vapes through self-service machines
00:11and became a concern for many people, especially parents,
00:15where this sale is open to children.
00:18It is said to have happened after the KKM banned the use of necrotin from 1952.
00:27So, you want to ask what my comment is?
00:31So, of course, the sale of vapes is under KKM supervision, I'm sure.
00:36So, if you ask, my opinion is the same now.
00:42I mean, supervision needs to be done.
00:45And if action needs to be taken, then under KKM, it needs to be done.
00:54I mean, how to control the situation.
00:58And it can also be done with cooperation with other agencies.
01:03And if it involves children, I think we as public figures,
01:07as well as related agencies, schools, Ministry of Education, etc.,
01:12also need to play a role.
01:14I, as a father minister, will also discuss this matter
01:19and we, God willing, will look ahead
01:21and see how we can also monitor these things in areas involving the region, God willing.
01:28So, is there a mission in the region?
01:31As of now, I have not received any further information.
01:35Okay.
01:36Okay. Thank you, Abby.
01:37So, what action if there is a mission in the region?
01:41It's up to KKM.
01:42What action do you want to take?
01:43The Minister of the Region himself, in the region,
01:45if we get the mission, is there any action to be taken?
01:48We also need to look at the placements.
01:50The placements are important.
01:52If there are no placements, we need to confiscate them.
01:54That's our responsibility.
01:55Okay.
01:56Thank you.
01:57Thank you, Abby.
