The Russian government plans a tenfold fine increase for e-cigarette sales to minors, stricter display penalties, and limits on flavor additives.

The Russian government plans to increase fines for selling e-cigarettes to minors tenfold, according to an October 31 PNP report. Artem Metelev, chairman of the State Duma Committee on Youth Policy, expressed support for the measures.
