According to the Ministry of Justice, Mikheil Saakashvili has been restricted from using electronic cigarettes

The third president of Georgia, Mikheil Saakashvili, was restricted from using electronic cigarettes by the decision of the attending doctors and the relevant unit of the Penitentiary Department. The Ministry of Justice of Georgia informed IPN about this.

According to the Ministry, the decision was made because Mikheil Saakashvili was taking a large amount of electronic cigarettes.

"The accused/convict Mikheil Saakashvili used a large amount of e-cigarettes, which became the basis for the group of doctors treating him in the medical institution, as well as the relevant unit of the Penitentiary Department, to make a decision to restrict his use of e-cigarettes due to his health condition," the Ministry of Justice said.
