Russia's Habarovsk Region Refuses to Implement E-Cigarette Ban
The legislative council in Russia's Khabarovsk region rejects e-cigarette ban, citing impracticality and potential black market risks.

The telegram channel of the legislature of the Khabarovsk region in Russia recently stated that the region will not implement a ban on the sale of e-cigarettes, as they believe this measure is impractical.

 

Lawmakers emphasized that e-cigarettes are now being treated equally with other nicotine-containing products, and all restrictions align with those related to tobacco consumption bans. They reasonably inferred that the ban may not have the intended effect and could potentially lead to the sale of unauthorized products.

 

One of the main reasons for the widespread use of e-cigarettes among children and teenagers is the lack of parental supervision and their encouragement.

 

The Russian Consumer Rights Protection Supervisory Authority is responsible for overseeing the enforcement of sales regulations.

 

According to reports, the region of Khabarovsk is located in the Russian Far East, bordering the northeastern region of China.
