The State Duma is again taking on waypes. Deputies are looking for ways to “circumail” the electronic market market
Recently, parliamentarians have expressed a number of initiatives that are aimed at legalizing the electronic cigarette market, which caused a negative reaction among experts. According to them, in an attempt to stop illegal sales, sellers will simply go to the streets and messengers, due to the inability to fulfill a number of legislator requirements.

More than 150 thousand outlets will be at the threat of closing, since they do not have the opportunity to expand their premises to such sizes, when with lease they barely make ends meet. As a result, hundreds, if not thousands of people, will be left without work.
At the same time, the current restrictions give the result. Experts believe that a complete ban will kill legal retail, but waypes will not disappear. Business needs a smooth transition, and illegal activities need to be suppressed tough, experts conclude.
