On Monday, measures to prevent the sale of tobacco products to individuals under the age of 18 began, along with intensified monitoring of shops and corner stores, especially near schools. The Ministry of Health is enforcing Public Health Law No. 47 of 2008, which stipulates that anyone caught selling tobacco to minors can face three to six months of imprisonment or a fine ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 Dinars. The Minister of Health has the authority to close any violating establishment. The ministry conducts ongoing inspection campaigns and has the authority to shut down tobacco delivery locations and confiscate transport means that promote these products. Additionally, parents are warned about the dangers of smoking, particularly its impact on adolescents and the risk of addiction. The Ministry of Health has been directed to tighten surveillance and enforce Article 63 of the law to ensure compliance with the ban on sales to those under 18.
