Moscow: A
group of lawmakers from the lower house of the Russian parliament
have introduced a bill that would ban sales of energy drinks in
Russia, the State Duma website said.
According to LDPR party members who authored the bill, many
Russians, especially young people, may develop health troubles
because of uncontrolled sales of caffeine-rich soft drinks and
low-alcoholic beverages.
"The excessive consumption of energy drinks may have a negative
impact on a person's health. According to doctors, many consumers
of energy drinks can, for example, become addicted to them, which,
in turn, may exacerbate the existing mental health problems,"
authors of draft said in a summary of the bill.
A co-author of the project, Ilya Drozdov, said that certain
Russian regions, including the North Caucasus Republic of
Chechnya, have already banned energy drink sales at the regional
level.
Several similar initiatives have either been rejected or are
pending at the State Duma, he said.
"In our draft we tried to fix all flaws that were in previous
versions," Drozdov said.
"We hope that other State Duma factions will support the bill and
it will be adopted during the spring session."
