Russia Considers Raising Workplace Smoking Fines to 15,000 Rubles
A new initiative in Russia proposes increasing fines for smoking and vaping in the workplace by up to ten times the current amount. The public movement “Healthy Fatherland” has appealed to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, arguing that existing penalties are insufficient to deter violators.
Under the proposal, fines for individuals caught smoking or vaping at work would rise from the current range of 500-1,500 rubles to between 5,000 and 15,000 rubles. The initiative also calls for stricter liability for employers who fail to enforce anti-tobacco laws. Proponents believe these harsher measures are necessary to improve workplace discipline and health, citing the widespread use of vapes as a growing concern that current fines fail to address.
