On the World No-Tobacco Day, HRH Princess Dina Mired launched Tuesday two guidelines for use by health inspectors at the Ministry of Health and the Amman Municipality to streamline control over the use and sale of tobacco and related products.

The two manuals outline the legal framework for the control process and lay out the steps that health inspectors must follow to guarantee that the inspection and control system is functioning properly.

Princess Dina said during a ceremony that 3.5 million hectares of land are lost each year for tobacco growing, resulting in deforestation, soil degradation, and the loss of water, fossil fuels, and minerals.
