A cold day for Russian vapors? Russia looks to have just passed a bill which beefed up regulations on smoking . At the same time they may have sneakily slipped in a little something extra for the tobacco companies. They may have PROHIBITED sales of electronic cigarettes. I assume its not uncommon for politicians to throw everything they can in something and hope it sticks but what do I know?

What Do I know?

I do know I have quit smoking for 65 days and I have no regrets. I know I can breathe better, smell better, and taste better because of e-cigs. I do know that cigarettes are a dangerous combination of chemically infused plant matter and combustion. There has to be a better process to inhale nicotine. A process that does not involve inhaling burning plant matter riddled with extra unknown chemicals. A process that we vapors feel with our own bodies far superior then traditional smoking. This process may be electronic cigarettes / vaporizers in combination with pure clean chemicals which are already used in many products. Will we ever know? Will we be allowed to know?

How and why?

How has this happened? How have governments gained so much control that they can sell products that knowingly kill people while prohibiting products that might possibly save peoples lives? Now lets be fair I have not read the bill so I do not know the specifics but essentially if this is happening you are killing the possibility of an industry to form in Russia. The source below doesn’t state if the products will be legal to use so I assume you could try your luck buying from a different country. It’s hard to say if your e-cig will make it through customs, however.

If this article is true and this bill goes into effect it will be a cold day indeed in Russia. A cold decision by the government and a cold trip outside for smokers and ex-vapors who can’t find a reliable and inexpensive way to vape.
