According to a report from Пронедра.ru on January 18th, the Russian government has recently introduced a new regulation limiting the use of non-cigarette type additives in tobacco products.
This regulation will involve chewing tobacco and snuff, and is planned to take effect from March 1, 2025. In addition, lawmakers are also considering introducing penalties for selling tobacco and e-cigarettes to minors, with fines of up to 2 million rubles (20,000 US dollars).
According to the new regulations, nicotine salts, ammonium, ammonia, acetaldehyde, and sugars are not allowed to be added to tobacco products. These substances are typically used to enhance flavor or accelerate nicotine absorption, but they also significantly increase the risk of addiction and health hazards.
In addition to the existing restrictions on additives, the Republic of Udmurtia State Council has proposed legislation to the national Duma meeting to prohibit the retail sale of nicotine-containing products, including hookah, e-cigarette e-liquid, and e-cigarettes.
