Uzbekistan Implements Age Restriction on Alcohol and Tobacco Sales.
On May 26th, according to the news website akipress, Uzbekistan's President Shavkat Mirziyoyev signed a bill restricting the sale of alcohol and tobacco products to individuals under the age of 21. The bill will become a formal law three months from now.
This law prohibits the sale of nicotine products such as alcohol, tobacco, and electronic cigarettes to individuals under the age of 21, and applies to salespeople who are also underage.
Moreover, the law stipulates that personnel who sell these products have an obligation to request identification and proof of age from any purchaser who appears to be under the age of 21. If the purchaser is unable to provide documentation, the salesperson must refuse to sell the products to them.
Laws also stipulate regulations on the packaging information. Packaging labels of alcoholic beverages and tobacco products must have medical warnings about their harm, otherwise they cannot be sold.
