The Ministry of Health prepared a negative response from the Government of the Russian Federation to a bill banning the sale of "vapor-evaporation products" to minors, as well as its use in recreational areas.

From documents signed by the deputy head of the Ministry of Health, Dmitry Kostennikov, it follows that the agency prepared a negative response to the deputy project.

"Supporting the declared goals, we note that there are remarks to the bill," Kostennikov noted.

In his opinion, it is inexpedient to change the name of the 15-FZ, because the amendments "concern only articles 2, 12 and 20 of the law". And "the change in the name of the federal law 15-FZ will entail the expansion of the subject of its legal regulation, which requires the introduction of complex changes into it," the Ministry of Health stressed.

The official also added that it is impossible to draw a conclusion from the proposed definition of a walking zone about the boundaries of the said territory, which can cause difficulties in practice with regard to bringing to the administrative responsibility of persons committing offenses.

The ministry recalled that the amendment to prohibit sales to under-age vaporisparents can not be offered without a similar amendment to the Code of Administrative Offenses. As a result, the government of the Russian Federation did not support the bill, Izvestia writes.

As the Internet portal "Kuban 24" wrote, Aleksei Gusak, deputy of the Legislative Assembly of the Krasnodar Territory, in July 2016 asked the Department of Consumption to pay attention to the problem of spreading of the wapping.

Deputy Chairman of the State Duma Committee for Health Sergei Dorofeev said in September 2016 that he supports the idea of ​​limiting the smoking of electronic cigarettes and mini-hookahs. In the State Duma in March, a bill was introduced that prescribes a ban on the sale of wakes and hookahs to minors.
