“I set the task for the government to develop a bill banning the sale of sucking and chewing mixtures containing nicotine until December 30,” Nikolaev wrote in his Instagram.

The head of the region noted that messages from worried parents began to come to him related to the fact that young people began to use snus.

He also added that several deaths were recorded in Russia due to the use of such mixtures.

Earlier it was reported that members of the Federation Council will prohibit the sale of chewing and sucking mixtures with nicotine to minors.
