From January to September 2024, authorized bodies in the Russian Federation conducted unscheduled inspections at 4,765 points of sale of tobacco products and control purchases at 1,380 points. Such data is provided in the review of the state of the tobacco market in the third quarter of 2024 in the subjects of the Russian Federation, prepared by the analytical department of the ANO "NSCC". The coverage of the retail sector by control (supervisory) measures increased by one and a half times compared to the 9 months of 2023, when 3,119 points were checked and 13 control purchases were carried out. The NSCC attributes the positive dynamics to the partial lifting of the moratorium on inspections and the activity of regulatory authorities.

According to GIS MT, in the third quarter of 2024, inspections were carried out in the Russian Federation in relation to 0.6% of the points of sale of tobacco products actually operating under GIS MT. In quantitative terms - in relation to 1,696 points of sale of cigarettes. This indicator of unscheduled control (supervisory) measures turned out to be 8.4% higher compared to the second quarter of 2024 (1,564 points) and 0.7% less (1,708 points) compared to the third quarter of 2023. In addition, representatives of Rospotrebnadzor carried out 638 control purchases (365 in the third quarter of 2024, 10 in the third quarter of 2023).

In the third quarter of 2024, 60% of unscheduled inspections of tobacco sales points occurred in the subjects of three federal districts - the Central (25.8% of the total number of inspections in the Russian Federation), Northwestern (17.6%) and Volga (16.4%). At the same time, control purchases were more often carried out in the Central Federal District (247), in the Volga region (103) and the Urals (81).

According to GIS MT, the number of tobacco point inspections in the Central Federal District has reached 438. The leaders are the Ivanovo Region (126 points, 10 control purchases), the Moscow Region (70 points, 57 control purchases) and the Vladimir Region (45 points, 26 control purchases). In the Volga region, 278 points were checked and 103 control purchases were carried out. The leaders are the Orenburg Region (105 points, no control purchases were carried out) and the Perm Region (59 points, 45 control purchases). In the North-Western Federal District, the authorized bodies checked 298 points and made 36 control purchases. The leading region is the Leningrad Region (237 points, 4 control purchases). The least number of unscheduled control measures were carried out in the North Caucasus Federal District (21 inspections, 28 control purchases), most of them in Karachay-Cherkessia and the Republic of Dagestan. In the Urals, inspections were most often carried out in the Chelyabinsk (122 points, 20 control purchases) and Tyumen regions (42 points, 42 control purchases), in the South – in the Rostov Region (92 points) and the Republic of Crimea (46).
