Retailers: Ban on Nicotine Sales to Minors

The Pancyprian Association of Retailers, a member of KEBE, has expressed its opposition to the sale of tobacco and alcohol products to minors, condemning illegal practices.

The Association is concerned about the illegal sale of tobacco and nicotine products, including nicotine pouches, to minors, linking some incidents to illegal imports from the occupied territories.

The clear legislation and responsibility of professionals are emphasized, with identity verification in case of doubt about age. The Association has sent information material to its members and calls for intensified controls by the authorities.

The need for collective responsibility and disagreement with the generalization and demonization of the business world are highlighted.
