The Health Ministry proposal, which has the backing of President Vladimir Putin, would make Russia the first country in the world to completely phase out tobacco.
"This goal is absolutely ideologically correct," Nikolai Gerasimenko, a member of the Russian Parliament's Health Committee told the Times on Tuesday.
However, Gerasimenko also admitted that he was uncertain whether such a ban would be enforceable.
A Kremlin spokesman said such a ban would need serious consideration and consultation with other Ministries.
According to Russian media, the Ministry of Health said the document has already been distributed in a variety of federal agencies, including the Ministry of Finance, Ministry of Economic Development and others.
