VAPES have no place near our children!
Today in the State Duma, our Communist Party faction supported a bill aimed at protecting the health of citizens, especially minors. In recent years, we have consistently tightened the responsibility for the sale of cigarettes and vapors to children and introduced licensing for the trade in products containing nicotine. Regions now have the right to completely ban the retail sale of vapes.
But that's not enough! Tragic cases that have come to light show how dangerous these products are for teenagers. Our mission is to continue working with the regions and move towards a complete ban on the production, import and sale of vapes throughout the country.
We will no longer restore health to those who are addicted to nicotine. But we must do everything to ensure that the next generation does not have the opportunity to make this dangerous choice. Not in a shop window, not in a stall, not near the school!
