“Let’s ... instruct the relevant committees to study these issues as a matter of priority and make proposals on the possibility of banning vapes,” TASS quoted Volodin as saying at a meeting of the chamber.
He clarified that the State Duma committees on health protection, education and youth affairs were instructed to study the situation.
Earlier it was reported that the Russian government introduces mandatory labeling of liquids for vapes from December 15th.
Alexei Sazanov, Deputy Finance Minister of Russia, said that the Ministry of Finance proposed to increase excise taxes on sticks and nicotine-containing liquids by 25-30%.
