Deputies of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg propose to change the federal legislation concerning the sale and use of tobacco products. This was announced by parliamentarian Yuri Gladunov.
“Deputies of the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg are proposing to change federal legislation by banning the sale and use of cigarettes to all Russians born after January 1, 2011,” Gladunov specified, quoted by KP.
Earlier, the State Duma adopted in the third reading a bill to limit the sale of vapes in Russia. The draft law proposes to establish: a ban on retail trade in devices for the consumption of nicotine-containing products (UPNP) and components for them at fairs, exhibitions, through delivery and peddling, remote sales, as well as using machines, in order to eliminate the possibility of ordering and assembling a NPNP device from constituent components.
In addition, the document provides for a ban on the release into circulation of nicotine-containing products with the addition of flavors and additives that increase nicotine addiction, in order to reduce the attractiveness of these products for minors.
It is envisaged to establish a minimum price for nicotine-containing products.
