YEREVAN, JUNE 8, NOYAN TAPAN. The Armenia Without
Cigarettes alliance that unites 28 NGOs sent a message to the
deputies of NA of the fourth convocation. As it is mentioned in
the massage provided to Noyan Tapan the alliance calls for
bringing to life the theses of the Frame Anti-tobacco Convention
of the World Health Organization (WHO). Particularly, to
protect each citizen's right of healthy environment, making all
the closed public places and jobs 100% free from cigarette
smoke, to prohibit all the promotion and sponsorship ways of
cigarette advertisement and sale. Besides, the alliance proposes
to implement a productive price policy with regard to cigarette
products by increasing cigarette taxes, which will contribute to
the decrease of cigarette use especially among the youth.
