The proposed amendments were presented by Dr. Kostadin Angelov, the chairman of the Health Committee in the Parliament, and comments on the bill were made only by Daniel Lorer from We Continue the Change - Demoratic Bulgaria and Yordan Tsonev from "MRF - New Beginning."
The bills on banning vapes and energy drinks for persons under 18 were submitted by three parties - GERB, DB, and "Vazrazhdane".
