UAE health officials delay smoking ban
UAE health officials have delayed a national smoking ban until they have decided which government bodies will be responsible for its enforcement, according to reports.
Last month the Ministry of Health announced details of the new legislation, but yesterday an official said the public would be fully informed once the details had been finalised.
“We understand that some people might be confused, as it a very comprehensive law, there are a lot of different points. We will clarify all of these,” Dr Wedad Al Maidoor, the head of the National Tobacco Control Committee, told The National.
