The Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade has proposed mandatory digital labeling starting November 1st for electronic cigarettes and nicotine-containing e-liquid.
The business sector supports this idea as representatives from the electronic cigarette industry have been providing increasing feedback on the proliferation of illegal electronic cigarettes.
According to research firm Euromonitor International, in 2021, Russia sold over 67 million units of electronic cigarettes and up to 10,000 liters of nicotine-containing e-liquids, worth 355 billion rubles. The budget losses due to unpaid consumption taxes exceeded 28 billion rubles.
