Andrey Lugovoy, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma's security and anti-corruption committee, has proposed a bill to suspend some legislation related to the regulation of new tobacco products. The bill has been submitted to the State Duma for consideration.
A proposed bill would temporarily suspend regulatory laws for the production and sale of tobacco and nicotine products in the Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhia, and Kherson regions, which came into effect upon these areas entering Russia. The law concerning tobacco production would be valid until January 1, 2023, and the law regarding sales and distribution would be in effect until April 1, 2023. The transportation and customs operations of tobacco products would also be subject to the current laws of the newly annexed territory.
The proposed legislation also suggests suspending Russia's technical regulations for tobacco products and federal laws protecting citizens' health from the effects of tobacco smoke in new territory environments until April 1, 2023.
As reported by The Parliamentary Gazette, earlier Lugovoy announced the proposal of a bill to the National Duma in order to delay the implementation of labeling tobacco products in new regions. According to him, this decision will enable the legal production, sales and transportation of tobacco products in the new territories.
