The deputy noted that Vladimir Putin had recently spoken out on the issue of combating drunkenness in Russia.
“The President said that it is not necessary to take violent measures that restrict anything, but to promote a healthy lifestyle.
In this sense, the question arises to what extent (this initiative - RT ) corresponds to the promotion of a healthy lifestyle, ”Tumusov believes.
In his opinion, it is necessary to think carefully about the wording of the printed warning.
“If we, for example, see in cigarettes: “The Ministry of Health warns!
Nicotine is bad for your health”, yes, a healthy lifestyle.
But when we talk about the fact that the bottle will have an inscription: “Alcohol is your enemy!”
does this correspond to the concept of a healthy lifestyle?” the parliamentarian asks.
In conclusion, Tumusov noted that this initiative will contribute to the formation of a negative image of alcohol consumption.
Earlier, a group of deputies and senators, headed by the chairman of the State Duma Committee on International Affairs, Leonid Slutsky, prepared a bill that presents a number of measures aimed at indicating information about the dangers of alcohol and contraindications for certain categories of citizens on alcoholic products.
