Jordan's health ministry rejects proposal to reduce cigarette prices
- Jordan: Wednesday, December 05 - 2012 at 03:56
Jordan's health ministry has said the recent proposal by local tobacco companies to reduce cigarette prices by 15% would affect the ministry's efforts to reduce smoking in the kingdom, Jordan Times has reported. "We will write to the finance minister to reject this proposal as it will destroy our efforts," Malek Habashneh, director of the health ministry's awareness department, told the daily. If the government approves this proposal, Jordan's obligation to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC) will be affected, he said. "Violating the obligations means that we will not receive WHO support for our awareness campaigns on the risks of smoking," he pointed out.
