Hassan bans youth tobacco sales
Prime Minister Dr. Jafar Hassan directed the Ministry of Health and relevant authorities to intensify oversight of all establishments and to close those found to be providing hookah services or selling tobacco products to individuals under 18. This comes as part of efforts to curb illegal practices that threaten the health of children and adolescents and encourage tobacco use, in accordance with Public Health Law No. 47 of 2008. The measures will include holding violating establishments fully responsible and activating Article 63 of the law to prevent the sale of tobacco to minors.
