Vice policy in Russia: alcohol, tobacco, gambling

Abstract

In the past fifteen years the regulatory systems surrounding the traditional vices of alcohol, tobacco, and gambling have been extensively overhauled in Russia, generally in the direction of tighter control. This article surveys these reforms and assesses their impact. In the case of alcohol and tobacco, the reforms have been quite salutary in overall terms, even as opportunities to engage legally in these vices remain plentiful; Russia’s extensive geographical ban on casino gambling, alternatively, might rein in compulsive wagering, but at the cost of putting legal casino gambling out of reach for most Russians. Informal markets continue to limit the effectiveness of formal vice market regulations, but do not preclude the maintenance of robust regimes that can protect reasonable vice participation, while still raising meaningful barriers to less-than-fully considered vice decision-making.
