Russian State Duma Speaker Proposes Ban on Vapes and E-Liquids

Russia State Duma vape ban

Vyacheslav Volodin, the Chairman of the State Duma (the lower house of the Federal Assembly of Russia), has suggested preparing a cross-faction legislative initiative to ban vapes and e-liquids. The proposal aims to introduce the ban before the end of the current session.

Currently, two draft laws on this topic are under preparation for the first reading in the State Duma Committee on Health Protection. However, considering that nearly all factions have expressed the need for a complete ban on the sale of vapes, Volodin believes it would be appropriate to develop a corresponding cross-faction initiative.
