Smoking 15 meters. All about the smoking ban in public places

This is stated in the draft government recall to amend the anti-tobacco law. The Ministry of Health is waiting for specifics on which public buildings the ban applies to.

“From the supporting materials for the bill, it is not clear how the distance from the entrances to the entrances was determined apartment buildings, where it is supposed to establish a ban on tobacco smoking - 10 meters, ”is a quote from the document.

State Duma deputy, former chief sanitary doctor of Russia Gennady Onishchenko, has already approved a bill to ban smoking near entrances.

Recall that a bill proposing to ban smoking at the entrances of apartment buildings was submitted to the State Duma by the Federation Council in June 2017.

FZ-15 - what's new

And from October 14, 2017, new anti-tobacco measures came into force. From now on, smoking on the street will be allowed only in strictly designated areas. Special signs and ashtrays should be installed there.

Organs state power Subjects of Russia "have the right to establish additional restrictions on tobacco smoking in certain public places and premises." But the street cannot be considered a public place or a building.

At the same time, nicotine addicts in any case, according to the anti-tobacco law FZ-15 adopted back in 2013, will have to stay away from public transport stops, children's, sports grounds and other places where non-smokers may be.

Working smoke break

Places for a smoke break should, according to new amendments to the law, take care, in particular, employers. Now the outdoor smoking room must meet the new requirements: have the inscription "Smoking Area", an ashtray, and be well lit at night.

Employers can organize a smoking room indoors, but under a number of conditions:

Firstly, these should not be healthcare, educational, cultural and sports institutions, that is, those listed in the anti-tobacco law of 2013.

Secondly, the office smoking room should not be located on the production site.

Thirdly, these isolated rooms must comply with all standards: equipped with ventilation, a fire extinguishing system and ashtrays.

According to the new amendments, apartment owners can organize a smoking room in the entrance at the general expense. It also needs to hang a “Smoking Area” sign on it, and put ashtrays, a fire extinguisher inside, as well as provide artificial lighting and, most importantly, a high-quality supply and exhaust ventilation system that will prevent smoke from seeping into the common area.

The essence of the law on the ban on smoking in public places

In June 2013, President Vladimir Putin signed the anti-tobacco law.

"The federal law was adopted in order to implement in Russian legislation the provisions of the World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, ratified Russian Federation in 2008, and regulates relations arising in the field of protecting public health from the effects of second hand tobacco smoke and the consequences of tobacco consumption.

The bill on smoking is designed to solve several problems at once:

- distinguish between smokers and non-smokers, protecting the interests of the latter;
- take care of the health of citizens who are not involved in smoking.

The law, in particular, prohibits tobacco companies from holding lotteries and sponsoring festivals. In addition, cigarettes were removed from shop windows and counters, replacing them with a price list for tobacco products.

It also banned the sale of electronic cigarettes and chewing tobacco blends.

Where you can't smoke

On June 1, 2014, the second, and more significant, part of the "anti-tobacco" law came into force in Russia. Smoking was banned in bars, restaurants, cafes, station platforms, airports, trains and all public transport.

Where can you smoke

Allowed items include:

- House, apartment, other real estate registered in your ownership.

The vehicle, if it is not moving at that moment.

On the street on the way from one public place to another (see list above).

In a designated smoking area.

From October 14, 2017, smoking outside is only allowed in strictly designated areas, where there are special signs and ashtrays.

As for the newfangled smoking of hookahs, they are allowed only in specially equipped rooms of bars and restaurants.

Smoking law and electronic cigarettes, vapes and hookahs

In March 2017, Rospotrebnadzor proposed to the State Duma that steam generators (vapes) be included in a bill that would equate electronic cigarettes and hookahs with tobacco. And accordingly, apply to the devices all the prohibitions that apply to tobacco.

The document introduces the concepts of “electronic smoking product” and “hookah”, establishes restrictions on their use in a number of places, and also provides for liability for involving children in smoking. Violations are punishable by a fine of up to three thousand rubles.

The bill also includes a ban on the sale of electronic cigarettes and hookahs to minors. It is proposed to impose fines on officials and legal entities for non-compliance with restrictions in the field of trade.

Statistics

According to Rosstat for the first half of 2017, almost half of Russians smoke - 40%. Average age smokers - from 19 to 44 years.

The majority of smokers (60%) are men. 20% of the total number of smokers are women. Almost every fourth girl aged 20 to 30 has a pack of cigarettes in her purse.

If we compare the values ​​with the statistics provided by Rosstat 10 years ago, the number of Russians who smoke has increased by 450,000 people. On average, a Russian citizen smokes about 10 cigarettes daily.

Anti-tobacco law - perspectives

According to the Federation Council, a document is currently being worked on, which consists of the following provisions:

– Record all manufactured and imported tobacco products in the country, as well as control the movement of tobacco products in the regions of the Russian Federation.
– Introduce control over manufactured equipment used for the production of cigarettes.
– Oversee the management of the authenticity of the excise and special marks used in a number of tobacco products.

"Fontanka" reminds: smoking is dangerous for your health!

In 2013, an active fight against smoking began at the state level. Serious restrictions have appeared (Federal Law of February 23, 2013 No. 15-FZ). For six years, the law has shown its effectiveness. Indeed, tobacco smoke has become much less. However, not all problems associated with smoking have been solved. For a long time, a ban on smoking on the balcony of your apartment was not introduced - in 2019 this is still a big problem. Therefore, legislators decided not to stop there. From October 1, 2019, important amendments to the Fire Regulations in the Russian Federation come into force.

We will tell you where the smoking ban law is in force in 2019-2020, in which places you cannot smoke, what changes have been prepared by the government on this issue, what fine for smoking in public places in 2019-2020, according to the law, the violator must pay.

Where you can't smoke

Federal Law No. 15-FZ dated February 23, 2013 has been in force for six years now. During this period, the vast majority of smokers got used to the restrictions and try to comply with them. Places where smoking is prohibited are marked with special signs.

So, the law on the ban on smoking 15-FZ (as amended for 2019-2020, article 12) prohibits smoking:

• in all children's educational institutions;
• in institutions of culture and sports;
• in medical institutions;
• in all types of public transport;
• on long-distance trains and long-distance ships;
• in hotels, hostels, etc.;
• in the premises of social services;
• in places of public catering;
• in the workplace;
• in elevators and entrances of residential buildings;
• on playgrounds;
• on the beaches;
• at gas stations;
• on passenger platforms.

Thus, there are not many legal smoking areas left for smokers. However, the problem has not been finally resolved. If in the entrance itself, with the exception of specially designated places (smoking rooms), smoking is prohibited (neighbors may complain about this, and the violator will be held accountable), then smoking a cigarette on the street is still allowed. Therefore, people moved from the entrances to the street, or to their apartment. In both places, they can still cause inconvenience to non-smokers.

If smoking in the fresh air is not so often complained about, then similar action neighbor in the apartment can be a problem. The owner has every right to smoke on his own territory. In fact, smoke can flow to neighbors. Especially if smoking occurs in the bathroom. Many questions have always arisen about smoking on balconies. Lawyers are often asked if smoking on the balcony of their apartment is allowed under the new 2019 law. Legal ways to deal with such phenomena still did not exist. Residents had to solve this issue on their own, up to the change of place of residence.

Can I smoke on the balcony of my own apartment?

The latest news on the issue of smoking appeared on September 20, 2019. Government Decree No. 1216 amended paragraph 90 of the Rules for the fire regime in the Russian Federation. From 1.10.2019 it is forbidden to use open fire on the balconies and loggias of apartments. Accordingly, frying kebabs, which some residents liked to get involved in, is banned, especially in summer period. However, experts regarded these amendments as a ban on smoking on the balcony in apartment building. This was confirmed by the Ministry of Emergency Situations.

Let's figure out whether smoking is now really prohibited on the balcony if the smoke interferes with the neighbors. The law in 2019 only indirectly introduces such a ban. Only from paragraph 436 of the Fire Regulations can we conclude that an open fire is a burning match, cigarette, etc. The legislation does not contain any more definitions of what constitutes an open fire. Therefore, the question: whether a cigarette belongs to an open fire or not remains open.

The opinions of experts on this issue are divided. For example, N. Gerasimenko, a member of the State Duma Committee on Health Protection, considered a cigarette a source of open fire. He argued his position by the fact that there is always a no-smoking sign on warning boards during fire hazardous work. However, it is necessary to understand what the process of smoking itself is. In fact, this is not burning, but smoldering tobacco. From this point of view, there is no open fire here. But at the moment of lighting a cigarette, there are still signs of open burning. Thus, in order to finally put an end to the question: is it possible or not to smoke on the balcony, it is necessary that it be fixed at the legislative level, which is an open fire.

If smoking on the balcony in an apartment building is prohibited by law in 2019, albeit indirectly, then there are no restrictions on smoking in the apartment itself. It follows that it is forbidden to make open fire on the balcony, but inside the apartment, where there is an even greater likelihood of ignition of individual objects, it is possible. Apparently, fire safety measures will be improved, as well as measures to combat smokers. It is also worth waiting for judicial practice on this issue.

Fine for smoking in public places in 2019-2020

Citizens who decide to violate the requirements established by the Federal Law 15-FZ on the ban on smoking in public places are brought to administrative responsibility. In 2019-2020, the fine for violators, according to Article 6.24 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, ranges from five hundred rubles to one and a half thousand. This will be a fine for smoking in the entrance of a residential building or in an elevator. As a rule, most often it is in these places that offenses are stopped, since neighbors easily figure out a smoker and report him.

It is already more difficult to fine a smoker on a playground. Although the fine for such an offense is higher: from 2,000 rubles to 3,000 rubles. However, if a person once came to smoke on the playground and left before the arrival of the police, then, of course, such an offense will go unpunished.

The balcony of an apartment building does not apply to places prohibited for smoking, according to 15-FZ. Thus, if the neighbors complain about the smoke, then you can try to attract a smoker under article 20.4 of the Code of Administrative Offenses of the Russian Federation, i.e. for violating fire safety regulations. In this case, you can get off with just a warning. Otherwise, you will have to pay a fine, as well as for smoking on the playground, from 2,000 rubles to 3,000 rubles. Smokers can try to challenge the fine, as the smoke-free legislation does not exactly answer the question of whether you can smoke on the balcony of your apartment under the new law.

Was adopted in 2013. It is included in the list of measures taken to reduce the number. In Russia, about 40% of the population suffers from tobacco addiction.
has recently undergone a number of changes. Restrictions have been expanded and now everyone should know about places where cigarette smoke is prohibited.

About the law

The state is seriously concerned about the massive distribution of nicotine among the citizens of the country. Smoking is called the epidemic of the 21st century for a reason.

Every year about three hundred thousand Russians die from active or passive smoking. Smokers suffer from harmful substances, those who are close to them.

According to the latest surveys in 2017, almost half of the population smokes - 40%. In terms of the number of smokers, Russia has overtaken the countries of Europe and is in 4th place.

On average, a nicotine addict smokes 2,790 cigarettes per year, which is why the number of deaths from cancer and heart disease is rising right before our eyes.

The government is trying to influence the situation by tightening the law on the ban on smoking. Conditions for the sale of tobacco products have been seriously tightened.

If earlier small shops lived mainly by selling cigarettes, now this has ceased to be their main source of income. The sale of nicotine-containing products was completely banned in most of the stalls.

The exceptions are supermarkets and large grocery chains. But they also prohibit any demonstration of products and all marketing techniques designed to advertise cigarettes.

It is not even allowed to hang dummies in open access, now they are kept in closed boxes, opening only at the request of buyers.

Despite active measures to reduce smokers, according to experts, positive trends in their reduction can be seen no earlier than in 5 years.

But the authorities do not stop “tightening the screws”. In the current 2017, new amendments were made to the Federal Law on the prohibition of smoking.

Test for smokers

Where you can't smoke

Tobacco is prohibited by law in any public place, which includes spaces and buildings that are accessible to people. These are shops, offices, clinics, schools, etc. All premises to which there is unlimited access.

But the legislative part of the question still vaguely describes this definition. To understand what's what, you need to refer to a detailed list of restrictions.

• In sports facilities, cultural and social institutions;
• In hospitals, polyclinics, sanatorium and medical places;
• In transport (metro, taxi, trolleybuses and buses);
• At transport hubs, which include stations, stops;
• On playgrounds and territories of kindergartens;
• On the beaches;
• In any residential premises, including hotels and hotels;
• In shops, markets;
• At car gas stations;
• At work (except for places where there are specially designated areas);
• In the premises of the authorities;

Most attention is paid to the places where children are located: these are playgrounds and schools, various institutions additional education and hospitals.

When smoking on the playground, you need to be prepared for condemnation from moms, weighty. If school students are found smoking a cigarette, the director will have to pay a huge fine for the fault of the wards.

Smoking in cafes and restaurants

Smoking is also not allowed where people have lunch, dinner and breakfast outside the home: cafes and restaurants, bars.

The amendment, which cancels the right of smokers to smoke in public catering establishments, entered into force in June 2014 and caused discontent among some of the population. They advocated the lifting of restrictions, but they were in the minority.

Most of the visitors to catering places, clubs and bars are glad that now you can spend time calmly without fear of smelling cigarette smoke through and through.

But until now, lovers of raising a cup of coffee or stronger drinks are asking how to get around the law. It is impossible to do this. Smoking is prohibited on the territory of cafes, bars and restaurants.

It happens that they have isolated rooms, similar to cabins at airports. But then they must comply with a whole list of requirements, which not every company has the ability to comply with.

Some believe that you can “take your soul away” on open verandas. There is a lot of controversy around summer terraces. Some believe that since this part of the institution is on the street, then it does not make sense to comply with the rules of the law on smoking.

Others are in favor of recognizing open terraces as a public place where smoking is prohibited, because other people are nearby at this time.

Harmful smoke is not completely dissipated in close landing conditions and they have to inhale it. But the Legislation cannot give a clear answer to this question; the Law does not provide a definition of “premises”.

Hookahs are banned, but their use causes a lot of controversy. To understand what mixture is in a hookah (with or without tobacco) is possible only by taking samples of smoke and air.

And these are “footprints on the water” that cannot be proven. The practice of smoking hookah is now preserved in many restaurants.

Special places for smokers according to Federal Law 15

Federal Law No. 15 has 2 sides of the coin. With one of them, he defends the rights of non-smoking citizens of his country. But it infringes on the constitutional rights of people who smoke tobacco.

According to the Convention on Human Rights, infringement on any grounds (and smoking) is prohibited. Wanting to find a compromise between the two sides, the government introduced an amendment to make smoking areas mandatory.

They can be organized at airports, at workplaces with more than 200 employees, in high-rise buildings, on seagoing ships and in the open air.

The amendment was adopted back in 2013, not everyone is in a hurry to comply with its restrictions. Near hospitals, clinics, and shops, you can still meet people who indulge in addiction, despite the prohibition signs.

If a business or organization decides to set up a dedicated smoking area, it must comply with a number of rules.

Requirements for smoking areas

The requirements for “smoking rooms” were defined by the Ministry of Health back in July 2013.

The premises must have:

• A door or other barrier that will prevent smoke from entering neighboring rooms;
• Sign in the form of a cigarette in a red circle, warning about the entrance to the smoking area;
• Ashtrays;
• Fire extinguisher;
• artificial lighting
• A ventilation system that provides air with a content of harmful substances that do not exceed permissible standards;
• Pamphlets on Harm.

For isolated places on the street, the requirements are slightly different.

They must be equipped with:

• A sticker with the sign "Smoking area";
• Ashtrays;
• artificial lighting;
• Brochures on diseases caused by smoking;
• A fire extinguisher that could be used in the event of a fire.

Despite the complexity of execution, all conditions are logical and can be explained. The isolation of the premises serves to protect non-smokers.

Information about negative consequences smoking is part of the fight against the rise of tobacco addiction and may help some to quit.

Lighting and ashtrays, like a fire extinguisher, are necessary for the safety of people inside the smoking area. These requirements are designed to protect and secure people from the consequences

Penalty for breaking the law

The restrictions in Law No. 15-FZ are serious and, of course, not all residents of our country are enthusiastic about their adoption. Frequent violations of restrictions.

You have probably come across lovers of “smoke” more than once in the front door, at the bus stop or at the playground. What awaits the perpetrators?

We will immediately make a reservation that there will be no criminal punishment for violation of the rules. For the wrong choice of a smoking place, a Russian citizen will only have to pay an administrative fine.

Its amount depends on the conditions of the offense:

• When smoking in the wrong place, the representative of the law has the right to issue a fine in the amount of 500 rubles. Up to 1,500 rubles;
• For violation of the Law on the playground, the fine will reach 2-3 thousand rubles;
• With the obvious involvement of a minor or the promotion of smoking, the offender will be fined about 2 thousand rubles;
• When smoking at home in the presence of minor children, parents break the law and must pay 2-3 thousand rubles of an administrative fine.

Since 2013, over 100,000 administrative fines have been issued in Russia. Most of them fall on the territory of such large cities as Moscow, St. Petersburg, Nizhny Novgorod.

Cafes and restaurants are seriously concerned about the loss of customers who cannot imagine a vacation without cigarettes. Not everyone likes to run out into the street every time when a hand reaches for a smoke. But severe fines for catering establishments make the legislation to be taken seriously.

The amount of fines is:

• For the administration of institutions - from 10,000 to 25,000 rubles;
• Owners - from 160,000 to 600,000 rubles.

Where and to whom to complain

Despite the severity of the restrictions, people manage to break the law right and left. Finding justice for active smokers can sometimes be difficult. A person smoking in the middle is unlikely to wait for the arrival of authorized bodies.

And it will be difficult to prove the offense after the fact. But, when drawing up a complaint, your application must be considered and measures taken to prevent illegal actions.

You should complain about smoking in restaurants and cafes to the administration of the institution where you are located. If you are tired of smoking people on the playgrounds, in elevators and, the police and the district police officer will be able to help you.

Roszdravnadzor should be contacted if the rules of the Law are not observed in polyclinics and hospitals. You should report to Rospotrebnadzor if you find smokers on the territory of a school or other educational institution.

Right to levy a fine

With the size of the fines, everything is clear, but it is not clear who has the right to issue them. If fire safety standards are violated in the premises, the State Fire Supervision Authority or persons responsible for health control can draw up a report on the offense.

Liability will become criminal, provided that improper implementation of the requirements of the Law will cause a fire.

In addition to the bodies of the FGPN, the following have the right to punish offenders:

• Police;
• Heads of territorial departments;
• Precinct;
• On duty on transport (if the violation occurs on the road);
• Bodies of sanitary and epidemiological supervision, housing stock control officers.

Areas where smoking is allowed

In addition to the list of prohibited places, the law also covers “legal” ones.

Only a small list of premises does not fall under the restrictions of the Law:

• Fenced areas outdoors or indoors, cigarette smoke should not enter living spaces;
• Property, which includes a house, apartment, car, garage, etc.;

You can smoke in a car only if it is parked no closer than 15 meters from houses and cafes. Do not forget that smoking with minor children in the apartment, you violate several positions of the Law at once.

After such serious restrictions, you will no longer go out on the stairs or in a cafe with a lit cigarette. This affects the comfort of smokers, but only time can tell if the number of cigarettes consumed will affect.

Other measures to reduce smoking

The smoke-free law is one milestone in the massive “fight” against bad habit million.

In addition to restrictive measures, a number of measures are being taken in Russia:

1. Large-scale social actions promoting healthy lifestyle life.
2. The cost of cigarettes is growing exponentially, and their advertising is prohibited by any means. mass media. If just recently you could still see a character from a TV series or a movie with a lit cigarette, now these places are subject to censorship or clipping.
3. Tobacco companies are prohibited from sponsoring sports events and their taxes have increased significantly.
4. Anyone in need of medical or psychological support can receive free quality assistance in getting rid of nicotine addiction.

Smoking is a serious addiction leading to health problems and complications. The concentration of attention decreases, the condition of the skin, hair, cardiac and pulmonary systems of a person worsens.

Despite the strictness, most people accept the law. Smoking seriously affects people's well-being. And the health of the nation is a serious reason to take decisive steps to limit smoking.

And measures aimed at informing the public about the dangers of tobacco, reducing sales, fines for propaganda and smoking are fully justified. Many countries adhere to exactly the same policy in their territories.
