The Russian State Duma is proposing a ban on the sale of tobacco to individuals born after 2014. The restriction will be implemented according to birth year.
Sultan Khamzaev, the Deputy Director and Head of the Sober Russia project, has stated that Russia should prohibit the sale of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products to minors under the age of 18.
The lawmaker stated, "We absolutely need to restrict age qualifications, especially birth age. If we don't, when we try to restrict smoking we're told that people are addicted and can't quit.

However, the lawmaker stated that the essence of this initiative is "to bring about a legislative framework that would prohibit anyone born after 2014 from purchasing nicotine-containing products upon reaching adulthood.
Khamzaev expressed confidence that it is not necessary to poison young people and expose them to the harmful effects of tobacco solely for the benefit of tobacco companies.
Legislators emphasize the need for tough measures because the country's addiction to smoking cannot be defeated solely through sports promotion. Statement:
