Tobacco shop regulations are becoming stronger
According to the announcement of the Ministry of Construction and Transport, traffickers who sell tobacco products to minors can expect heavier penalties in the future. Although the department has not yet determined the date of entry into force of the new provision, it emphasized that significant restrictions are expected in the operation of traffickers.
Based on the experience of the past period, the access of minors to tobacco products remains a serious problem in the tobacconists’ shops. The ministry emphasized that the stricter measures are necessary to effectively prevent minors from accessing tobacco.
Although the date of entry into force of the provision is not yet known, the ministry has already put forward the prospect that in the future traffickers can expect higher fines, longer imprisonment, and even the loss of their license if they sell tobacco products to minors.
