“We urge airports to make every possible effort to prevent the use of smokers as a way to promote tobacco and nicotine, which they often become,” RIA Novosti said.
The ministry stressed that the stylish design, convenient location and finding such places in sight contribute to the growth of consumption of tobacco and other nicotine-containing products, including among adolescents.
In January, the opening of the first smoking rooms at the Moscow Sheremetyevo airport was reported.
