Tobacco Sale Restrictions to Minors

In 2025, the Government of Punjab reinforced regulations to prevent the sale of cigarettes and tobacco products to minors. Retailers were warned and monitored to ensure compliance, and strict action was taken against those violating age-restriction laws. The initiative aims to reduce early tobacco addiction and protect youth from long-term health risks.
