Ekaterina Leshchinskaya, head of the all-Russian public movement "Healthy Fatherland," addressed the head of state with a corresponding request at the "Russia – a Sports Power" forum. She noted that neighboring CIS countries and other countries have had positive experiences with banning vapes.
Vladimir Putin nodded approvingly in response to her request to "issue an order to impose a complete ban on vaping in the Russian Federation."
"Dmitry Nikolayevich Chernyshenko agrees. Our government supports this," TASS reported the president as saying during a visit to an adaptive sports demonstration and educational center in Samara.
