Russia bans online sales of e-cigarettes

10:01; 01 June 2026 year

### New Restrictions on Vaping and Hookah Products in Russia Starting June 1, Russia has implemented new regulations restricting the sale of vaping devices, hookahs, and other nicotine-containing products. Under the new law, these products can now only be sold in stationary stores and pavilions. Sales at fairs, exhibitions, and through vending machines are prohibited. Additionally, the law introduces restrictions on how these products are displayed to customers. Shop owners are no longer allowed to openly display vaping devices, hookahs, and other nicotine-containing products, nor can they show them to visitors. These measures aim to further regulate the market for nicotine-containing products and reduce their accessibility to consumers, particularly minors.
