According to RIA Novosti, the corresponding project involves the extension of the provision of the law "On protecting the health of citizens from exposure to second hand tobacco smoke and the consequences of tobacco consumption" to electronic smoking products, including hookahs.
In December, it was reported that the State Duma supported in the first reading a bill to restrict the use of electronic smoking devices and hookahs in public places.
The corresponding draft was submitted to the State Duma in 2017 by a group of senators.
