Jordan to implement smart devices for smoking violations
The Greater Amman Municipality is preparing to launch an long-term plan from 2026 to 2028 aimed at promoting a smoke-free environment in the city. The plan includes activating an electronic system to monitor violations and installing smart sensors to detect smoking in public places. It also features awareness campaigns such as "Smoke-Free Gardens" and "Our Health is Amana," following the benefit of over 25,000 people from educational programs during the first eight months of 2026. Efforts by the oversight team resulted in 253 inspection visits, during which 71 violations of smoking regulations were identified. Additionally, 1,550 individuals received smoking cessation services, with 418 successfully quitting, bringing the total number of quitters to more than 2,177. The initiatives encompass supporting those wishing to quit, expanding monitoring efforts, and enhancing awareness through modern technologies, with a special focus on protecting parks and schools from smoking.
