In St. Petersburg they want to completely ban the sale of vape for five years.
The city's legislative assembly unanimously approved the bill in first reading. All 50 delegates voted in favor of the initiative.
A ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes and liquids for them is planned to be introduced from March 1, 2027 to March 1, 2032. In order for the restrictions to take effect on time, the document must be finally adopted and published before December 1st.
The Speaker of the Legislative Assembly, Alexander Belsky, explained the initiative to the growing interest of teenagers in Waps, despite the current ban on their sale to minors.
In addition, the representatives propose to limit the sale of tobacco products on beaches, at sports events and near recreation areas for children.
And today the State Duma adopted a law requiring the disclosure of information on the dangerous components of tobacco and products containing nicotine. It is scheduled to enter into force on January 1, 2027.
