Parliament Approves Tobacco Control Law
Parliament approved on Wednesday the tobacco control law that would organize the manufacturing and advertisement of tobacco products.
The law, initially proposed by MP Atef Majdalani, was amended to allow the tourism police to fine restaurant owners double the minimum wage should they the law be violated.
Plane passengers and crews will also be banned from smoking based on a request by Middle East Airlines.
Parliament will convene again next Wednesday.
