The sale of vapes will be banned in St. Petersburg starting from 2027

St. Petersburg deputies unanimously approved a ban on the sale of vapes and liquids. The measures will come into force on March 1, 2027.

A complete ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes, disposable devices, and liquids for them is being introduced in St. Petersburg. The bill was unanimously approved by the deputies of the city parliament.

The new rules will affect all market participants: from manufacturers to retail outlets. Both multi-use devices and popular disposable vapes are at risk.

The key date for the law to enter into force is March 1, 2027. Until then, existing regulations will remain in effect, but the market will begin preparing for changes.

The ban applies to the following product categories:

• Disposable devices (e-cigarettes)
• Liquids for refilling vapes

The decision was made without any votes against, indicating a high degree of consensus among deputies regarding the restriction of nicotine-containing products in the city.
