• Mozambique: New tobacco regulations take effect 

A new set of regulations for the marketing and consumption of tobacco products took effect in Mozambique over the weekend.

From Saturday it was illegal to smoke in any public place, including all state institutions, restaurants, schools, libraries, hospitals, airports, train stations and all forms of public transport.

Restaurants, bars, and other places of entertainment can, if they choose, provide a space for smokers. But such a space must occupy no more than 25 per cent of their total area, clearly marked as a smoking area, and separated by walls from the non-smoking areas.
