    Law restricting smoking comes into force in Armenia

    Public Television of Armenia, Yerevan
    2 Mar 05

    The law restricting the sale, consumption and use of tobacco products
    comes into force in Armenia 3 March.

    The law prohibits the sale of tobacco products to those under the age
    of 18. It also prohibits the sale and use of tobacco products at
    cultural, educational and sports facilities, in public health
    institutions and in public transport.

    Smoking in restaurants and cafes is allowed only in special halls for
    smokers. World Health Organization data indicates that Armenia has the
    highest proportion of smokers of all the CIS states.

    Some 2,000 people between the ages of 35 and 69 die every year in
    Armenia from ailments caused by smoking. [Passage omitted: smokers
