The parliamentarian stated in an interview with RIA that, "I propose to add restrictions on information pertaining to devices used for consuming self-made tobacco products (including e-cigarettes) in the proposed legislation on the non-judicial blocking of the sale of tobacco products online.
The congressman further added that there is a lot of content on the internet, such as videos with titles like "The Easiest Way to Make an e-cigarette," "How to Make an e-cigarette," and "Make your own e-cigarette for only 25 rubles."
He believes that the proposed legislative provisions should be expanded to include such content related to the non-direct sale of tobacco products in order to strengthen regulation in this area.
