The Nicotine Industry Enterprise Alliance (SPINI) is calling on the Russian government to strengthen its regulation of the production and sale of e-cigarettes. Business leaders are proposing that necessary regulations be put in place by the end of 2022, with a view to creating separate OKVED and OKPD codes for the industry.
According to experts, this will help to regulate the industry.
According to Dmitry Vladimirov, head of SPINI, the lack of regulation in the e-cigarette industry is causing it to operate invisibly within the realms of taxation, customs, and accounting statistics. Additionally, it is preventing measures against the production and sale of counterfeit products, which can result in the circulation of unsafe e-cigarettes in the market.
As an additional note, Izvestia reported that a study conducted by the National Research University Higher School of Economics showed that approximately 99.9% of electronic cigarettes and 68% of fuel liquids sold in our country were fake.
