The Jordanian government has begun enforcing a law banning the sale of tobacco products to minors under the age of 18, accompanied by a regulatory campaign targeting outlets and small shops, especially those near schools. The law stipulates penalties for violators, including imprisonment for 3 to 6 months or fines ranging from 1,000 to 3,000 dinars, and permits the closure of the violating establishment based on the minister's decision. The Ministry is conducting on-site inspections and has trained over 500 liaison officers to identify violations, emphasizing the importance of raising awareness among parents about the dangers of smoking and addiction. These measures are part of the government's directives to reduce smoking among the youth.
