Tobacco Sale Restrictions for Under 18s Starting Monday
The Ministry of Health in Jordan is beginning to implement new measures to prevent the sale of tobacco products to individuals under the age of 18, aiming to protect youth from the risks of smoking and addiction. Law No. 47 of 2008, along with its amendments, stipulates fines ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 Jordanian dinars for those who sell cigarettes to minors, with the possibility of closing the violating establishment for a period determined by the ministry. The measures will include increased inspection and field visits, especially around schools, as well as enhanced monitoring of tobacco product delivery services to homes, with a requirement to verify the age of the recipient. Officials have called on parents to educate their children about the dangers of smoking, and the Prime Minister has directed the Ministry of Health to strengthen oversight and shut down any establishments that sell or offer hookah or tobacco products to minors, to prevent violations of the law.
