The Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation has declared its support for a bill proposed by the "New People" party to ban the sale of tobacco and nicotine products to individuals born after December 31, 2009, Ura.News reported on October 24.
"Kommersant magazine expressed the opinion that: "The project is in line with the country's basic policy of reducing tobacco and nicotine consumption. This strategy emphasises the Health Ministry's gradual phasing out of tobacco products by 2035. Although a reduction in excise tax may result in a reduction in budget revenue, the bill also takes into account the potential savings in health care costs associated with the treatment of smoking-related illnesses".
The media reported that the federal government's opinion on the draft law was sent to the relevant departments on 19 October 2024. In addition, the Russian Ministry of Health is also ready to support initiatives aimed at reducing the use of e-cigarettes.
