Mother Fined for Buying E-Cigarette for Teenage Son
A Russian mother was fined for buying an e-cigarette for her 14-year-old son. Underage vaping is illegal in Russia.

Local resident contacted the Irbite police station and reported that her 14-year-old son had been robbed of her electronic cigarette by a friend. The woman is 44 years old.


According to Irbit's Ministry of the Interior, she explained to law enforcement officers that in July of this year, she purchased an electronic cigarette for personal use for her child to help them quit smoking.


This transition has resulted in unexpected (for the mother) consequences. The woman has been accused of committing an administrative offense under Article 2 of the Art Code. She has violated Article 6.23 of the Administrative Offenses Code of the Russian Federation - the participation of parents in the consumption process of nicotine-containing products by minors. The woman will face a fine of two to three thousand rubles.


The police are reminding everyone that individuals under the age of 18 are prohibited from using vapes, IQOS, other electronic cigarettes, and hookahs. Any violations by minors may result in them facing administrative responsibilities under Article 6.24 of the Administrative Offences Code of the Russian Federation, and their parents may also be held responsible under Article 5.35 for failing or improperly fulfilling their obligation to care for, raise, train, and protect the rights of their minor children.
