烟草在线据《烟业通讯》报道编译　　据《海湾时报》的报道说，阿联酋已就一项将于明年开始生效的联邦综合反烟法案达成一致。

　　根据这项新法案，以商业目的种植烟草或制造烟草产品将被禁止。现行的烟草制造厂被给予了10年的宽限期，但烟农只有2年的宽限期。

　　这项法律还禁止进口与阿联酋制定的技术标准不相符合的烟草产品。除了被查没非法产品之外，违法者还将面临一年的监禁及10万至100万阿联酋迪拉姆的罚款。

　　所有烟盒上都将必须在烟盒的正面展示大面积的健康警语标签，违法者也要被处以重罚。

　　这项法律将禁止烟草产品的广告，禁止在靠近向儿童出售的物品、运动服、保健食品和电子产品的地方展示烟草产品。

　　烟草还将被禁止在距离幼儿园、学校、大学和学院周围15米的范围内，或在距离宗教场所100米的范围内出售。

　　水烟咖啡馆距离居民区必须至少150米。这些咖啡馆的工作时间将受到管制。它们不能向18岁以下的人提供服务，不允许给公寓送水烟。

　　这项法律将禁止在有12岁以下的儿童乘坐的私人汽车内吸烟。

评论：

　　阿联酋的控烟措施可谓是“多管齐下，治标又治本”。从提高烟税、禁止烟草宣传、监管水烟馆到禁止车内吸烟和电子烟，到强制限定烟盒印制健康警语，尤其是现在又要禁止种植烟草和制造烟草产品，从源头上大大减少了人们接触烟草的机会，同时，还严格限制进口和打击走私，几乎切断了烟草进入阿联酋的各个渠道。澳大利亚是实施卷烟平装的先驱者，阿联酋却走在了彻底禁烟的前列，如果每个国家都能效仿这种“斩草除根”的精神和措施，相信烟草就会离我们越来越遥远。

Tobacco Growing and Manufacturing to be Banned in United Arab Emirates

　　The United Arab Emirates has agreed a comprehensive federal anti-tobacco will come into force next year, according to a story in the Khaleej Times.

　　Under the new law, growing or manufacturing tobacco for commercial purposes will be banned. Existing manufacturing plants have been given a grace period of 10 years, but tobacco farmers have been given just two years' grace.

　　The law bans, too, the importation of tobacco products that are not consistent with technical standards set by the UAE. Violators could find themselves facing a one-year prison sentence and a fine ranging from AED100,000 to AED1 million, in addition to the confiscation of the noncompliant products.

　　All packs will have to display a large warning label on the front and, once again, violations will attract hefty penalties.

　　The law will ban the advertising of tobacco products and their display near items marketed for children, sportswear, health food and electronic products.

　　Tobacco products will be banned from sale within 15 meters of kindergartens, schools, universities and colleges, or within 100 meters of places of worship.

　　Shisha cafés will have to be at least 150 meters away from residential areas. Their working hours will be regulated; they will not be able to serve people under 18 years of age; and they will not be allowed to deliver shishas to apartments.

　　The law will ban smoking in private vehicles if a person under 12 years of age is traveling in them. Enditem
