President Dr Mohamed Muizzu has announced that amendments to the Tobacco Control Act will be presented in Parliament on Tuesday. Alongside banning the importation and use of vaping devices in the country, the Government plans to raise the legal age for trading tobacco and tobacco products to 21, to deter young people from picking up the harmful habit. Amendments will propose stringent enforcement measures to address violations of the Tobacco Control Act as well.
