UAE tobacco control law in works

  • United Arab Emirates: Sunday, September 21 - 2008 at 09:52

The federal tobacco control law in the UAE is expected to be implemented by the end of the year once the Federal National Council holds deliberations on various aspects of the legislation that have been delayed by the summer holidays and Ramadan, reported Gulf News. The draft law has seen several delays since the Ministry of Health announced its intention to pass a tobacco control law for the UAE in keeping with the country's commitment to the World Health Organisation Framework Convention of Tobacco Control. Officials had initially expected the law to come out at the end of 2006.
