In a television interview, Meterev expressed concern about the issue of electronic cigarettes in Russia.
He said the new regulations would not only apply to e-cigarettes, but also to any nicotine-containing device, including hookahs. Not only is the sale of these products to minors prohibited, but the public display or promotion of related products is not allowed, and e-cigarettes are treated the same as traditional cigarettes. However, surveys have shown that this regulation is not fully complied with in some areas.
“The unannounced inspections carried out by our committee in 42 districts showed that the law was not being followed and hundreds of violations were exposed.”
Meterev said he had submitted his complaint to Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin and Prosecutor General Igor Krasnov. Mass inspections are planned to begin by September 1, and violators will face fines. An awareness campaign about the dangers of e-cigarettes is also planned for schools and colleges at the start of the new school year.
If companies do not comply with the regulations and regulators fail to take action by September 1, he will introduce further legislative initiatives and possibly even a licensing system for the sale of e-cigarettes.
In addition, whether to carry out surprise inspections of vape shops was also discussed, and he will seek to ensure that businesses comply with existing regulations.
