Will there be a fine for "giving" cigarettes to teenagers?
Volume~$145
YES chance
DescriptionIn early May 2026, members of the public and political analysts proposed imposing fines of up to 3,000 rubles on adults who buy or give cigarettes to minors at their request. According to statistics, 40% of teenage smokers obtain tobacco in this manner. A proposal to amend the legislation is being submitted to the Ministry of Health and the relevant committee of the State Duma. The question is whether the authorities will be able to officially enact this provision (pass the law) by May 25, 2026.
ConditionsYes: if, by May 25, 2026 (inclusive), a law is officially adopted in the Russian Federation or amendments are made to the Code of Administrative Offenses establishing a fine of up to 3,000 rubles for providing tobacco products to minors.
No: if, by May 25, 2026, the relevant provision is NOT officially adopted (and remains at the proposal, discussion, or draft bill stage).
