In Mari El approved a complete ban on the sale of vapes
The Parliament of Mari El supported the initiative of the Head of the Republic: the restriction on trade in electronic cigarettes will last five years.
Today at the meeting of the twentieth session of the State Assembly of Mari El adopted a law banning retail trade in vapes, initiated by Yuri Zaitsev. According to the document, from March 1, 2027 and until the spring of 2032, the sale of electronic nicotine delivery systems and liquids to them will be completely prohibited in the region.
Mari El took advantage of the law that gave the regions new federal legislation. At present, similar restrictions are already in effect in 17 regions of the Russian Federation, and 39 are in the process of developing them.
The need for such strict measures is confirmed by medicine. According to statistics of pulmonologists, over the past year the number of patients with severe complications after smoking vapes jumped by 30%. At risk - adolescents and young people under 35 years. Doctors warn that the chemical composition of fluids causes both acute lung damage and latent respiratory failure.
This ban is in accordance with federal law. From March 1, 2027, a ban on the remote sale of any nicotine-containing products and hookahs comes into force at the national level.
