Tajikistan Passes Law to Further Restrict Tobacco Use
Tajikistan parliament passes law to protect underage and pregnant women from tobacco hazards by banning non-smoking mixtures and smoking in public spaces.

The Tajikistan parliament has passed amendments and supplements to the current "Tobacco Control Law". According to the revised law, the primary goal is to protect the health and safety of minors and pregnant women. The amendments propose a comprehensive ban on the import, production, export, storage, and sale of non-smoking mixtures such as snuff and NICKPACK.


The amended bill "On Amending and Supplementing the Law on Restricting Tobacco Use in the Republic of Tajikistan" was passed through discussion and voting on March 1st.


MP Abdukhlim Gafforzoda has expressed concern about the continued sale of tobacco products to people under the age of 18 in many places.


According to new regulations, it is prohibited to smoke any form of tobacco products inside medical, cultural, sports, religious, scientific and educational institutions, apartments, restaurants, public transportation and underground passages.


The current "Tobacco Control Act" came into effect on January 1st, 2011. It has been revised in 2017 to reinforce the protection and promotion of public health, as well as to prevent the development of harmful habits.
