According to the Russian media outlet Newsland.com, on May 12, the Russian government has cracked down on the tobacco market over the past five years, successfully closing approximately 45 illegal tobacco factories and fully implementing a tobacco product labeling system. This is to strengthen market supervision and ensure the legal production and sale of tobacco products.
The operator of the "Honesty Label" tagging system stated that in the context of introducing labels, increasing tax revenues, and legal production quantities in the industry, Russia has closed about 45 illegal tobacco factories in the past five years.
Mikhail Dubin, head of the Advanced Technology Development Center, stated in an interview with the Russian News Agency that the labeling of tobacco products in the Russian market began in 2019. The labeling codes apply to cigarettes, e-cigarettes, disposable e-cigarettes, and other products. During this period, the budget revenue from tobacco products has "more than doubled.
During the implementation of this system, the country closed 45 illegal tobacco factories and legalized 18 production facilities. In addition, Russia today may be one of the very few (if not the only) countries in the world where all tobacco factories have been legalized. Tobacco products are labeled strictly according to the recommendations of the World Health Organization," Düben said.
