Russia is currently the fifth largest e-cigarette market in the world, with an estimated 2% of the population vaping. A significant number of sales appear to take place via the black market, and due to the recent online sales ban social media platforms have become a popular method for purchasing such products. Due to the ongoing conflict with Ukraine, prices have increased significantly and many brands have stopped their trade in the country. In spite of this, retailers remain positive about the future of the industry.
