Fuente: Tobacco Reporter Lugar: Around the Industry Russia’s Civic Chamber deputy secretary Vladislav Grib said he is against a “generational ban” for tobacco products, saying it is ridiculous to segregate people into groups of those who were “successfully” born and those who were not. The remarks were in response to the State Duma repeatedly proposing tobacco bans to those born after either 2009, 2015, or 2017.



Speaking to TASS, Grib criticized the proposals, arguing that such measures would create unequal classes of citizens, encourage proxy purchasing, and lead to human rights violations.  The post Russian Leader Says Generational Bans are Ridiculous first appeared on Tobacco Reporter.
