Abstract

Currently, there is an increased interest among children and adolescents in purchasing not only tobacco products, but also various modern devices for consuming nicotine-containing products. This situation is significantly aggravated by the expansion of the market for the above-mentioned goods, as well as the spread of illegal practices among business entities that ignore the prohibitions on the sale of these products to minors. Despite the fact that at the moment there is a very large-scale practice of bringing to administrative responsibility for failure to comply with the above prohibitions, tobacco and nicotine-containing products are still available to minors in many retail stores. In this context, the issue of the effectiveness of the current state of the institution of responsibility in this area is significantly updated. The purpose of the presented study is to analyze current issues in the fight against the retail sale of tobacco products and devices for the consumption of nicotine-containing products to minors. The author focuses on the timeliness and validity of tightening liability in this area, in terms of supplementing Art. 151.1 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation with relevant provisions. Based on the analysis, the author concluded that the introduction of criminal liability for repeated retail sale of tobacco and nicotine-containing products to minors, as well as devices for their consumption, seems very promising and timely, since it corresponds to the modern realities of the spread of such criminal behavior, in terms of its preservation despite the application of administrative sanctions.
