On April 8th, 2FIRSTS learned from the "Moscow Komsomolets" newspaper that Russia will tighten regulations on the sale of electronic cigarettes. A draft policy to this effect has been submitted to the Russian State Duma and will be discussed for the first time during the National Duma Meeting on April 11th.
The draft includes:
Electronic cigarette manufacturers are now prohibited from adding flavorings to their products, and the minimum price of e-liquids has been increased. Fancy packaging for e-cigarette products is now banned. Rules for the sale of devices and components containing nicotine are now the same as for traditional cigarettes. Minors are completely prohibited from using electronic cigarettes, and bringing tobacco, nicotine, e-cigarette, or heated tobacco devices onto school grounds is now strictly prohibited.
2FIRSTS will continue to report on this issue. Stay tuned for updates.
