He explained that "if it remains somewhere in another country, this rubbish will still be imported."
According to the agency, a statement was made during a meeting between Medvedev and Interior Minister Vladimir Kolokoltsev and the head of Rospotrebnadzor Anna Popova. He instructed to prepare appropriate decisions.
Earlier, Medvedev ordered the Ministry of Internal Affairs to stop the illegal distribution of non-smoking nicotine-containing products outside retail outlets, including on the Internet.
In late December, the Federation Council approved a resolution requesting the government to suspend the wholesale and retail trade in related products.
