Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan has decided to tackle smoking
in the Cabinet, saying ministers should be an example for the country,
MTRK Mir reports.


The Armenian government has recently approved a state anti-smoking
campaign. A law introduced in late 2004 forbids the production, import
and marketing of cigarettes containing nicotine above the norm. It is
also forbidden to smoke in cultural, educational, healthcare
institutions and on public transport.
