Russian deputies proposed amendments to completely ban the sale of all vapes and e-liquids nationwide.Summary
A group of State Duma deputies, including Yaroslav Nilov, Yana Lantratova, and Nina Ostanina, have submitted amendments proposing a complete national ban on the sale of vapes and e-liquids in Russia. This initiative is supported by President Vladimir Putin's call for radical measures to protect youth from vaping risks and is being considered alongside a bill establishing licensing for tobacco and nicotine product retail sales. Deputies argue that partial restrictions are inadequate, framing the total ban as a necessary step for public health. The Ministry of Finance has also suggested granting regional authorities the power to impose local vape sales bans.
