  The head of the Fedotov Group, a Russian tobacco consulting agency, stated that the minimum pricing policy for e-cigarettes is planned to take effect on November 1.<\/p>

According to a report by RIA Novosti on September 1, Evgeny Fedotov, head of the Fedotov Group, stated: “After reviewing by the Fedotov Group, the government announced plans for the minimum pricing policy for e-cigarettes to take effect on November 1.”  <\/p>

The agency also clarified that this will affect disposable electronic nicotine delivery systems (ENDS) that contain liquid.
