    TODAY IS WORLD DAY OF FIGHTING AGAINST CIGARETTES

    May 31 is the World Day of Fighting against Cigarettes. Armenia has
    joined the convention on fighting against cigarettes in 2004 after
    which Armenian law on "Limitations in Selling, Consuming, Using of
    cigarettes," has been adopted with which it is banned to smoke in
    public transport, health, educational and cultural places.

    The monitoring of the "Armenia without Cigarettes" non-governmental
    alliance showed that the law is not being used effectively.

    Coordinator of the alliance Diana Petrosyan told the reporters that
    the main cause is bad awareness of the people, not being demanding.

    "It is impossible to solve the issues only with laws and restrictions.

    If it is not possible to make changes in the mentality and behavior
    of the people, no law can fully solve the smoking issue", executive
    director of the Youth Foundation Alexander Ter-Hovhanisyan noted.
