Members of the House of the People in the Parliament of the Federal Republic of Somalia have approved the Tobacco Control Treaty, with 139 members voting in favor, three abstaining, and none opposing.
This marks a key public health milestone for Somalia.
The decision reflects strong parliamentary consensus on regulating tobacco to protect citizens.
Last two attempts to approve the bill delayed over lack of quorum.
Deferent tobacco types are imported without control, which causes bad effect to the people.
