Strategic regulations to limit the youth's access to specified merchandise are now under consideration.

New legislative changes came into effect in Russia on March 1, 2025. These changes aim to regulate the sale of certain goods to minors, following Federal Law No. 438-FZ of 30.11.2024.

According to this law, the sale of household goods containing liquefied hydrocarbon gas is prohibited to minors. This ban applies to all minors in Russia and includes items such as lighters and refill canisters.

Furthermore, Federal Law No. 304-FZ of 08.08.2024 established a ban on selling non-alcoholic energy drinks to those under the age of 18.

The responsible organization for implementing these new legal changes related to sales to minors in Russia is not explicitly mentioned in the search results. However, such responsibilities typically fall under relevant federal ministries such as the Ministry of Finance or the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

Reporting the sale of tobacco products, energy drinks, alcohol, or goods containing liquefied hydrocarbon gas to minors can be done by calling 02 (police) or 112 (emergency services number).

These new legislative changes mark a significant step towards protecting the health and safety of minors in Russia. By prohibiting the sale of harmful goods, the government is taking a proactive approach to promote a healthier environment for the nation's youth.
