On December 10, a government circular was issued to cigarette vendors across
the spectrum of commercial grocers and supermarkets.
While the announcement to prohibit the sale of tobacco products in the city
of Sharjah was made by the Sharjah Municipal Council in April this year, the
organisation was yet to work out an implementation strategy with the Sharjah
Municipality, which is responsible for enforcing the ban.
Grocers said they are already experiencing a loss in revenue as cigarette
sales were their main source of profit.
