According to a recent report by the Russian Parliament Newspaper, Sergei Altukhov, deputy chairman of the State Duma Economic Policy Committee in Russia, stated that it is necessary to strengthen regulations on the sale of e-cigarettes. He believes that the proposal by Moscow city council members to ban online sales of these devices is a reasonable suggestion.
Sergei Artukhov stated that there is a need to establish age restrictions for online sales and to reconsider how offenders are dealt with. He believes that the impact of e-cigarettes has not been fully researched and that civilized trading rules need to be established to protect the younger generation. The Moscow City Council is currently considering a series of legislative proposals to address the issue of minors consuming nicotine products and e-cigarettes, including the possibility of banning online sales of e-cigarettes.
In addition, selling e-cigarettes to children for the second time may result in a fine of up to 800,000 rubles (approximately 785,000 Chinese Yuan).
Members of all four political parties have proposed a complete ban on the sale of e-cigarettes. In addition, the Duma is considering significantly increasing the fines for illegally selling e-cigarettes. A series of new regulations is set to be implemented this April.
