According to Vedomosti, an alliance of manufacturers of nicotine products called SPINI wrote a letter urging commercial inspector Boris Titov to prevent the passage of a law in Russia that would prohibit their products. They specifically requested this action in relation to e-cigarettes and e-cigarette manufacturers.
Earlier, the LDPR faction proposed a bill claiming that a child died after inhaling vape steam. The initial version reported that a 12-year-old boy from Bryansk died from vaping. However, the criminal case was closed due to a lack of evidence. According to UK sources, a child and two teenagers who vaped in a private residence were not poisoned by the e-cigarettes, but by carbon monoxide from a faulty stove.
The warning from SPINI suggests that the Russian economy could suffer losses of over 30 billion rubles, not including consumption taxes and revenue from the sales of nicotine liquid, as a result of the ban on the sale of certain devices. More than 10,000 people could be at risk of losing their jobs.
However, the Ministry of Health specifically mentioned child deaths, stating that sales should be restricted until technical regulations on nicotine-containing liquids and delivery devices are developed. These regulations have already been developed within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), with participating countries submitting their decision on the project by the fourth quarter of 2022.
According to SPINI, the estimated trading value of Russia's electronic nicotine delivery systems, tobacco heating systems, and electronic cigarettes in 2022 is approximately $2.5 billion.
