Госдума ввела уголовную ответственность за торговлю табаком без лицензии

The State Duma has introduced criminal liability for the sale of tobacco products without a license. This legislative change aims to curb illicit trade and ensure compliance with regulations in the tobacco market. The new law targets individuals and entities engaged in the unauthorized distribution of tobacco goods, seeking to enhance control over this sector. It is expected to lead to stricter enforcement and penalties for violations.

This measure is significant as it aims to increase state control over the tobacco market and combat illegal sales, potentially impacting public health and tax revenues.
