Fz 15 on smoking how many reports are written. Laws to ban smoking in public places. Fine for smoking in public places in Russia. Where is smoking allowed
We tell how the Federal Law-15 on the ban on smoking in public places works: what fines are provided for smokers; where it is possible and where it is impossible to “smoke”; whether the restrictions of the law on smoking apply to summer cafes, balconies and porches.
Federal Law FZ-15 "On protecting the health of citizens from the effects of second hand tobacco smoke and the consequences of tobacco consumption" was adopted in 2013. The smoking law severely restricted the rights of smokers, who were "forced out" from restaurants, sports facilities and other public places where it is no longer possible to "smoke". Amendments were made to the administrative code, toughening the responsibility for violators of Federal Law-15 on the prohibition of smoking. Smokers, as well as organizations that do not comply with established bans on tobacco smoking, face serious sanctions. According to Rospotrebnadzor, in the first half of 2017 alone, Russians were fined 60 million rubles as fines for smoking in a public place, as well as for other violations of Federal Law-15.
Let us tell you in more detail how the “anti-tobacco law” works: where you can and where you can’t smoke.
Where you can not smoke under the new law - 2018-2019.
A rather impressive list of places where tobacco use is prohibited is contained in Art. 12 FZ-15 on the prohibition of smoking. No smoking:
- in arr. and educational organizations (schools, technical schools, nurseries, etc.) - the ban applies not only to the premises, but also to the surrounding territory;
- in cultural and sports facilities (circuses, philharmonics, stadiums, etc.)
- in medical institutions, including clinics, hospitals and sanatoriums;
- on any type of public transport, both urban and suburban, and long-distance (trains, ships, planes, etc.) - the ban applies to train platforms and bus stops;
- at a distance of less than 15 meters from railway stations, airports and other transport facilities;
- in hostels, dormitories, hotels and other buildings where services for the placement of citizens are provided;
- in premises for trade and provision of services;
- in buildings where social institutions and services are located;
- in buildings where executive and legislative bodies of various levels are located;
- smoking in the workplace;
- in elevators and other public places of MKD;
- on playgrounds and beaches;
- You can't smoke at gas stations.
As can be seen from the list, the law on the ban on smoking in public places severely limited the rights of smokers. If earlier they could smoke safely in a cafe, in their office, in the vestibule of a train, now in these places, according to the law, a no-smoking sign should be hung. If you ignore the restriction, then there is a risk of getting a fine for smoking in a public place.
Where can?
Here the principle applies: everything that is not forbidden is allowed. Therefore, before taking a cigarette into the mouth, the smoker needs to make sure that he is in a place where the ban on smoking does not apply. Restrictions do not apply to:
- outdoor places away (more than 15 meters) from public institutions, transport stops, sports and cultural facilities;
- isolated living quarters for personal use (you cannot forbid a person to smoke in his toilet, the law does not say anything about smoking on the balcony of his apartment);
specially equipped smoking areas, they are also smoking rooms, which can be organized both at the enterprise and in cafes, in MKD and other buildings.
What should a smoking room look like in 2018?
Requirements for the organization of specially designated smoking areas are established by the law on smoking in public places. In 2018 and 2019, these rules have not changed.
A smoking room on the street should have:
- sign "smoking area";
- lighting at night;
- ashtray.
The smoking room in the room should:
- be isolated so that non-smoking workers do not smell smoke;
- be ventilated (for similar purposes);
- sign "Smoking area";
- ashtray;
- fire extinguisher.
Fine for smoking in a public place - how much to pay in 2018-2019?
There are several articles in the Code of Administrative Offenses that provide for punishment in the form of fines for violating the ban on smoking and other restrictions established by Federal Law-15:
- article 6.23 provides for a fine for involving minors in tobacco smoking: from 1,000 to 2,000 rubles - for citizens; from 2,000 to 3,000 rudders for the child's parents. This violation includes buying cigarettes for teenagers, "treating" them with tobacco products, and other violations;
- article 6.24 provides for a fine for smoking in a public place - from 500 to 1000 rubles. A more severe punishment is provided for smoking on the playground - from 2,000 to 3,000 rubles;
- Article 6.25 provides for liability for officials, legal entities and individual entrepreneurs for violating the law on smoking in terms of organizing specially equipped places for smokers or for ignoring the restrictions established by law. The minimum fine is 10,000 rubles, the maximum is 90,000 rubles.
Answers to popular questions
Can I smoke in the summer cafe?
It is forbidden. This is the position of Rospotrebnadzor, indicated in the letter dated 06/18/2014 N 01 / 6906-14-25. When establishing this ban, the supervisory authority proceeded from the fact that both the veranda and the terrace of the summer cafe are also used to provide catering services, and therefore are part of the premises.
Where can you smoke at the airport?
At the Airport, you can smoke in a special isolated smoking room, which is equipped with an exhaust hood, an ashtray and meets all the requirements of Federal Law-15 on a ban on smoking in public places. Such smoking rooms are equipped at most airports in the world, including Russian ones: Domodedovo, Vnukovo, Pulkovo. If the smoking room is closed, then smoking is allowed no closer than 15 meters from the airport.
Can I smoke on the balcony of my apartment?
No restrictions on smoking on the balcony of your own apartment have yet been established, although such initiatives periodically arise. However, if the smoke from a neighbor-smoker does not allow a normal life, a citizen has the right to file a civil lawsuit against him demanding compensation for damage. In court, you will have to prove that the neighbor's smoking is injurious to health and creates obstacles to the normal use of residential premises. To fix the violation of sanitary standards, you can invite specialists from Rospotrebnadzor. It will take a lot of time to collect all the necessary evidence, and the prospects for a lawsuit are vague, but there is still such a possibility in the law.
We all know that smoking is harmful to health. It is especially scary that teenagers start smoking at an early age, when the child's body begins to form. And this can affect the physical and mental development of children.
Understanding the harm and threat to humanity such a habit brings, the government of the Russian Federation adopted a new law. The decree gives the right to punish those who allow themselves to inhale in public places. After all, such people harm not only their health, but also all the people around them.
Smoke Free Public Places Act 2018
Based on Federal Law No. 15, there are public places where smoking is strictly prohibited. Let's list the main public places:
It is also forbidden to drag out at the workplace if the management of the organization so desires. In other cases, it is permissible and punishable. To do this, ventilation systems must be in a specially designated place.
From January 1, 2018, certain provisions of the Federal Law on this issue will come into force.
How does it sound?
Under the new no-smoking rule, manufacturers of tobacco products must list the product's detailed ingredients and health warnings on packaging; persons under 18 years of age, the sale of cigarette products is strictly prohibited. Under the new law, the sale of cigarettes to children under the age of 18 is not only the seller's responsibility, but also the parents of teenagers.
In all programs, theatrical performances, cartoons for children, the demonstration of cigarettes and the process itself are prohibited. And, of course, according to the new decree, places where you can do this are limited.
What punishment can be expected?
If you violate the rule and the definitions established in it, you can get punished for this. The new principle toughened and increased the administrative penalty for smoking in public places.
The minimum fine for individuals is 500 rubles. If you break the rule and do it at the station, then everything can cost 1.5 thousand rubles. For keeping a cigarette in your hands on the playground, you can pay a fine, which will amount to 2-3 thousand rubles.
Legal entities and individual entrepreneurs receive much higher fines for breaking the law. If individual entrepreneurs forgot to put up a “no smoking” sign, they face a fine of 10,000 to 20,000 rubles. And legal entities for violation will receive a fine of 30 to 60 thousand rubles.
Approximately the same fines are imposed for rooms for such entertainment, where there is no proper insulation and good ventilation. For the sale of cigarette products to children, legal entities face a fine of up to 100 thousand rubles. Individual entrepreneurs for the sale of cigarettes to minors can receive a fine of up to 50 thousand rubles.
A fine of 80,000 to 150,000 rubles has been imposed for illegal sponsorship of tobacco products. Getting caught in the wrong places with cigarettes for many will be too expensive. That is why, before you drag on in a public place, you should be well acquainted with all the provisions of the new decree.
Smoking in Public Places Act 2018 fines
According to the new regulation, a fine is considered the main punishment for smoke in public places. For a Russian, a fine of 1,500 rubles is a rather tangible punishment. Until 2018, cafes and restaurants were not considered a restricted area.
Such decrees and financial contributions are to prevent the promotion of smoking among the younger generation and, of course, to protect the health of all non-smokers. Since June 1, 2015, Russia has been developing a law banning smoking.
Does it apply to electronic cigarettes?
Having familiarized yourself with the Federal Law, you can understand that the ban has been introduced only on tobacco products from which tobacco smoke arises. After all, this smoke is contained in the atmosphere and is inhaled by the rest of the population. The smoking ordinance does not say anything about a ban on e-cigarettes.

Overview of the smoke-free law in public places as of 2018
As you know, many smoke in our country, and abroad too. But today's topic for discussion is the federal law prohibiting smoking in public places in 2018 in Russia. Federal Law No. 15 has been adopted on the prohibition of smoking in public places since 2013. Among the general population, many questions and contradictions arise in the interpretation of this law. What is a public place? Is it possible to smoke in the entrance in 2018? And if so, under what conditions? Who can be punished by Rospotrebnadzor in accordance with Federal Law No. 15? What does Federal Law 15 call for in the first place? What norms have been adopted to control the spread of tobacco? What penalties can be imposed on persistent violators of Federal Law 15? The main purpose of the law, first of all, is to protect the younger generation from addiction. And save the non-smoking part of the Russian population from the harm of tobacco and smoke.
The second question is often asked by smokers - but where can you still smoke in 2018 without risking your budget? The date of the entry into force of the Federal Law No. 15 “on limiting the use and distribution of tobacco” is also misleading. It seems that it was adopted in 2013, it starts to operate from 2014, but not all articles have come into force for the current 2018? Today we will try to give full answers to all questions that concern the inhabitants, as detailed and understandable as possible.

What threatens the new federal law
Federal Law 15 threatens to punish not only individuals. Legal entities and officials can also be punished, in accordance with the already completely new (for the current 2018) law (including Rospotrebnadzor and fire services as a punitive body). Everyone knows about the dangers of tobacco use. Those people who smoke meaningfully harm their health. But this does not mean that others should suffer because of their addiction. This is exactly what the federal law on restricting the distribution and use of tobacco is designed for. Not for nothing in its title there are the words "On the protection of health ...". For smoking in the entrance (if there is no exhaust and ventilation in it) in a restaurant, cafe and any other place considered public, as well as for violations of other provisions of Federal Law 15, an individual will receive a fine:
For legal entities, a different punishment is intended:
Federal law number 15 imposes certain obligations on officials and for failure to fulfill these obligations, punishment is also threatened:
- for the sale of cigarettes to persons who have not yet reached the age of majority, in 2018 an official will pay from eight to ten thousand rubles;
- for sponsorship - from five to seven thousand rubles;
- for the demonstration of tobacco products a fine of eight to ten thousand rubles;
- for demonstration of tobacco and violation of the ban on smoking in front of minors, a fine of ten to fifteen thousand rubles;
- For violation of the rules for advertising tobacco, Federal Law number 15 provides for the following types of punishment:
- payment of a fine from one hundred to five hundred thousand rubles for the sale of tobacco to children;
- withdrawal of promotional goods or a ban on work for up to three months.
The list of places that are considered public in 2018 is determined by the legislation of the Russian Federation. It can be viewed in the article on the topic of fines for smoking (including at the entrance) (here is a link to the article Fines for smoking).

Do we smoke in the hallway?
Many heavy smokers are not deterred by federal law prohibiting the use of tobacco in public places. In accordance with it, smoking is not allowed in the entrance. However, people in our country do not always follow the letter of the law. If your neighbors impudently ignore the provisions of the 15th Federal Law, you can write a statement to the police. But first it is better to try to solve the problem peacefully. Show your neighbors an extract from the law, post signs on the walls with a reference to the federal law that it is forbidden to smoke. If these actions do not make any sense, you can write a statement and / or complaint to the district police officer. It is in free form. Indicate your data, data of the defendant and briefly state the essence of the situation.
For smoking in the entrance, you can get a fine of up to one and a half thousand rubles.
In order to smoke on the landing with impunity, a ventilation system is required. In agreement with all the owners of apartments in a multi-storey building, you can equip a "smoking room". It should be an isolated room equipped with ventilation. It should have ashtrays. Such rooms are subject to fire safety requirements and compliance with sanitary standards. In order to equip these premises, it is necessary to obtain consent from each owner of residential premises. Of course, all this takes time and money, but it will be possible to smoke legally.
Requirements for "smokers"
Places designed to satisfy smokers of their "thirst for nicotine" should be specially equipped. The room should be away from places where smoking is not allowed. It must be kept clean and tidy.
Required requirements:
It will be necessary to spend a lot of money to equip a smoking room. This pleasure costs about one hundred thousand to four hundred thousand rubles. But if it is worth taking on such a case, it must be brought to the end and at the same time not violate Russian law. After all, Rospotrebnadzor will monitor the order of equipment for smoking rooms. And if violations are found, a fine will be imposed on the owner of the establishment. Some social facilities have a double ban on cigarettes. For example, in a hospital, at a stadium, on the territory of educational institutions, etc. it is impossible to equip "smoking rooms".
