The sale of candy and chewing gum in the form of cigarettes will be banned from Monday, as part of the Prohibition on Advertising and Restriction of Marketing of Tobacco Products Law.
"Cigarettes and sweets in the form of cigarettes have been marketed in Israel for decades, which have given dangerous cigarettes the status of a legitimate product, and their sale will now be completely forbidden," said the Israel Cancer Association, adding that the main goal is to prevent smoking and addiction among young people."
The fine for breaking the law is NIS 75,300 for a private person or NIS 150,600 for a corporation.
