The Prosecutor General’s Office is asked to check Wildberries for illegal sales of vapes

State Duma deputy from United Russia and deputy head of the inter-factional working group on protecting the health of citizens from alcohol, tobacco and drug threats Sultan Khamzaev appealed to the Prosecutor General of Russia Igor Krasnov with a request to conduct an inspection of the largest Russian marketplace Wildberries for the sale of vapes. As follows from his letter (Vedomosti has read it), there “are a large number of devices and liquids for smoking.” At the same time, online sales of such products are prohibited, the deputy recalls.

The Prosecutor General’s Office did not respond to Vedomosti’s request. A Wildberries representative said that the sale of such products is contrary to the rules of the site. If unscrupulous sellers offer it by changing the names of such goods on cards, it is promptly removed from the site, he claims.
