The latest "Trendy" of young people in Albania seems to be abandoning tobacco consumption.
And that's more about boys, because to girls is a bit different. There is an increase in the number of women consuming tobacco in Albania.The implementation of the law to ban the tobacco consumption in indoor or indoor environments has reduced the number of smokers. A Public Inspectorate Health report says that the smoking in males aged 15-49 has dropped from 43% to 35%.
But now there will be another measure. The tobacco will not be allowed to be sold in Bars, supermarkets or neighborhood shops. The Ministry of Health is interfering with interest groups to draft a bill that stipulates that its tobacco and its products are sold only at licensed stores.
Health Minister Ogerta Manastirlium said: "We are in the process of consulting for the amendment of the law, whether with the health protection or with the traders of the tobaco. Because for us, the health of citizens is paramount. Albania is increased to 7 countries at Bloomberg's report on improving health indicators and you know that smoking is one of the major causes of these cardiovascular and tumor illnesses. "
The purpose of the changes in the law is to limit the number of stores who sale tobacco and its products. Also will be forbidden the sell of the packets of less than 10 cigarettes.
