Restrictions on the sale of vapor have been introduced by 17 regions of the Russian Federation, and work is underway on relevant laws in another 39 regions, State Duma Chairman Vyacheslav Volodin said. The relevant decisions were made in: Vologda region; Transbaikal region; the autonomous okrug of Nantes; Nizhny Novgorod Region; Penza region; Perm region; the Republic of Altai; the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia); Republic of North Ossetia - Alanya; Ryazan Region; Saratov region; Smolensk region; Tomsk region; Udmort Republic; Ulyanovsk region; Republic of Khoash; Yamalo-Nents Autonomous Okrug. In addition, currently 39 regions are working on relevant laws. The power to install a ban on the retail sale of VAPEs and liquids for them, as well as other electronic nicotine delivery systems, was granted to constituent entities of the Russian Federation by federal law (Federal Law of June 26, 2026 No. 186-FZ). The State Duma adopted these norms based on requests from citizens who wanted to protect children and bring order in this area. Today we see: over 60% of regions have taken the path of introducing restrictions on the sale of VAPE. Experts also note a decrease in the number of stores selling such products. Our mission is to do everything to protect the health of people, first of all children! We will continue to keep this issue under control.
