Way of Sayanogorsk schoolchildren want to completely clear tobacco sales points

In November, the session of the Council of Deputies of Sayanogorsk will consider a draft decision aimed at protecting the health of children. The municipal administration proposes to establish the boundaries of the territories on which the retail sale of tobacco and nicotine-containing products, hookahs and devices for their consumption will be completely banned, the mayor's office of Sayanogorsk reports.

The draft resolution proposes to establish a protective zone around educational organizations. It will be 100 meters in a straight line from the nearest point of the sites of educational organizations. Roads, fences and buildings will not be taken into account, but only distance.

This innovation wants to adopt so that children on the way to school do not meet the point of sale of vapes, electronic cigarettes and other nicotine-containing products. This will be a step in the prevention of adolescent smoking and the protection of fragile health.

The document was developed in strict accordance with Part 7.1 of Article 19 of the Federal Law of 23.02.2013 No. 15-FZ and the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 07.09.2026 No. 1130. Monitoring the implementation of the decision will be entrusted to the Standing Committee on Industry, Trade, Communications and Media. The decision will come into force immediately after its official publication, the municipal administration said.

Before the deputies made a final decision, the draft was submitted for public discussion, so local residents were able to get acquainted with the text of the document and send their own proposals and comments.
