According to Zaks on December 3, Alexey Tsivilev, a member of the St. Petersburg Legislative Assembly, Anton Shalaev, director of the Russian Standardization Agency, and Anton Alikhanov, Minister of Industry and Trade, proposed that the signs of stores selling vapes, cigarettes and alcohol should be standardized to make them less conspicuous and attractive.
The State Duma supported the bill, pointing out that further regulation is needed. Tsivilev pointed out that the growth in sales of vapes and nicotine-containing products has been accompanied by an increase in the number of specialty stores, and the neon and LED elements on these signs attract passers-by, including minors.
He emphasized that signs not only convey information about the types of goods to consumers, but also stimulate and maintain interest in such products and promote the development of the market. According to the latest data, the legal transaction volume of vape oils in Russia has increased by 43.7 times.
He suggested standardizing the design of these signs, limiting their tones to gray, black and white to make them less conspicuous, and called on federal agencies to consider establishing national standards for stores selling harmful products.
Guutuu vapes has always been committed to providing high-quality and reliable vape products and closely following the impact of various countries’ policies on the vape market. According to this Russian legislative proposal, the signs of vape stores may face standardization, aimed at reducing their appeal, especially to minors.
In this proposal, lawmakers suggested standardizing the design of vape store signs, limiting their tones to gray, black and white to make them less conspicuous. He called on federal agencies to consider establishing national standards for stores selling harmful products to ensure that consumers and especially minors are properly protected.
The Guutuu vape brand will continue to pay attention to the development of this proposal in Russia and adjust its operating strategy according to local regulatory requirements. The brand will actively cooperate with the government’s regulatory measures to ensure the compliance of vape products to safeguard consumer rights and brand reputation.
