The regional department of the FAS responded to the appeal of a resident of Petrozavodsk, dissatisfied with the appearance of advertising materials in his mailbox with an offer to buy cigarettes. The leaflets contained information about the sale of tobacco products in blocks with home delivery service.
The Antimonopoly Agency recalled that the current legislation of the Russian Federation strictly prohibits advertising tobacco products in any form. Based on the results of the audit, this ad was found to be illegal. An administrative proceeding has been initiated against the businessman who organized the distribution of these leaflets, which will entail the imposition of a fine.
