Health officials to step up tobacco sale checks
The Ministry of Health in Jordan launched a campaign on Monday to tighten regulations on the sale of tobacco products to minors under the age of 18. This initiative coincides with intensified awareness and regulatory campaigns at facilities near schools. The program aims to ensure compliance with Public Health Law No. 47 of 2008 and its amendments, which prohibit the sale of tobacco to minors and emphasize regulating smoking in public places. Violations are punishable by imprisonment for three to six months or a fine ranging from one thousand to three thousand dinars, and violating establishments may also be closed. The Ministry stresses the importance of parental awareness about the dangers of early smoking and underscores the need to enforce the law. It also involves intensive field campaigns to prevent shisha from being offered or sold to children, all with the goal of reducing smoking among teenagers.
