Will a complete ban on vaping be introduced in Russia by June 2026?
Volume~$205
YES chance
DescriptionA bill calling for a complete ban on the retail sale of nicotine-containing liquids and devices for their consumption (vapes) has faced fierce opposition. Representatives of the legal market (about 20,000 retail outlets) and medical experts in the field claim that the ban will only expand the “gray market,” which already accounts for 75% of the market. The business community has officially confirmed its intention to challenge any restrictive measures in the Constitutional Court. Given the bureaucratic procedures, readings in the State Duma, and potential lawsuits, the chances of the law taking effect within the next two months are extremely slim. The focus is now on whether the law imposing a total ban will be adopted and signed before the start of summer.
ConditionsYes: if, by May 31, 2026 (inclusive), a law imposing a complete ban on the sale of vapes in the Russian Federation is officially adopted and published.
No: if, by May 31, 2026, the law is NOT adopted, or is sent back for revision or rejected.
