Monday: Tobacco sales under 18 banned
The implementation of measures to prevent the sale of tobacco products to individuals under the age of 18 began in the country starting next Monday. This is in accordance with Public Health Law No. 47 of 2008 and its amendments, which aim to protect public health from the harms of smoking. The measures include intensified inspections and monitoring of establishments and shops surrounding schools, with penalties of up to 3 to 6 months of imprisonment or fines ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 dinars for those who sell tobacco to minors. Authorities also pointed out that repeat violations may lead to the closure of the establishment, and surveillance campaigns will continue to monitor and enforce compliance. Particular focus is placed on preventing the delivery of tobacco and shisha to homes, as well as verifying the recipient's identity. Officials called on parents to keep a close watch on their children to address the smoking phenomenon, raise awareness, and warn against the dangers of addiction.
