Exclusive report: On July 26 at 2:00pm in Moscow (7:00pm Beijing time), the Russian Tobacco Expert Council held a meeting at the National Duma. The meeting lasted for two hours and 45 minutes and discussed topics relating to the market competition and development of nicotine products, government regulation of the tobacco production and business sectors, as well as innovative products and equipment for delivering nicotine through means other than smoking.
After the meeting on July 26 at 9:45 PM Beijing time, 2FIRSTS immediately connected with Peter Davydov, Chief Press Officer of the Russian Nicotine Alliance, to discuss the specifics of e-cigarette regulations. Davydov stated that while the topics on the agenda had been discussed, there were still unanswered questions and work would continue.
When asked about whether electronic cigarettes would be subject to regulation, Peter Davydov expressed affirmation. He told 2FIRSTS that electronic cigarettes are not prohibited from being sold in Russia and that they are currently being labeled as part of an ongoing experiment.
The pilot program to label electronic cigarettes and nicotine-containing liquids was found in a search by 2FIRSTS to have started in February 2022 and will end in 2023. The label's meaning is understood by 2FIRSTS to be similar to the tobacco product codes of the China National Tobacco Corporation and will become an important technological tool for the informationization of the industry, especially for collecting relevant data for production and business decision-making management systems. One thing, one code, making it easy to trace.
It is worth noting that the official documents of this conference will be released within a week. 2FIRSTS will continue to monitor the situation. For more information on Russia's electronic cigarette regulations, click here.
