Taba merchants confirmed that the blogger trade is not like any other cigarette or hookah trade, and other tobacco products, as its profits are “fictional”, describing the tawiyah trade as “a treasure that generates tens of thousands of dirhams per month.”
They said, “The seller, who stands in a small shop near school buildings or youth gathering areas, buys the raw tobacco package at prices ranging between 140 and 200 dirhams, and sells them in small packages for smokers, achieving a return of 1000 dirhams, with a large profit rate of more than 600%.”

Imprisonment and fine for violators The executive regulations of the Tobacco Control Law prohibit the import of tobacco, except for the corresponding to the Emirati standard specifications, and it also prohibits the import of tobacco except envelopes with warning pictures. The tobacco control law requires imprisonment for a period of no less than a year and a fine of no less than 100 thousand dirhams, or one of these two penalties, on those who enter tobacco without adhering to the standard specifications, which require that all tobacco packages be large and clearly wrapped in a significant warning, as well as appropriate warning phrases In order to raise awareness of the dangers of tobacco and not mislead the consumer. In the event of repetition, the penalty of imprisonment is for a period of no less than two years, and a fine of no less than one million dirhams. The law imposes a fine of no less than 100 thousand dirhams, and not exceeding one million dirhams, in the event of tobacco products without carrying the expressions, photos and warning data clearly. |
These major profits are harvested in the country’s traders, at the expense of the health of young smokers and children, and at the expense of the law that began to be applied more than a year ago.
Although the law obliges tobacco sellers not to import any products that do not carry specifications, and it is prohibited to sell any tobacco that does not carry warning components or expressions, but the “Emirates Today” tour is on tobacco stores in Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman, revealed that the law “as if it was not ».
Dizziness is sold in cooking utensils, and they are ground and mobilized manually away from any known factories that can be referred to, and many of the quantities sold were imported from abroad in plastic bags that do not carry any specifications or data about their content.
Back to milk boxes
In the tour, which included a large number of tobacco sales outlets, those in charge of this trade said that they are importing dizziness from two close states, and imported in drinking water or plastic bags, or dried milk cans, and the package price is estimated at less than 200 dirhams, while it is The price of the package is purchased from a farm in the country at a price of 140 dirhams, and these boxes are emptied in small plastic packages, achieving a return up to 1000 dirhams, with a profit rate of more than 600%.
The sellers who were unaware of the identity of the “Emirates Today” editor dealt with us as merchants we seek to buy a large amount of dizziness, and revealed that the march market is not governed by specific prices, so every trader sells at the price he wants, explaining that if the appearance of the buyer indicates wealth or addiction to smoking Al -Mudhokh, the small packaging is sold for 50 dirhams, and if the buyer is a school or university student, he gets the same package for 10 dirhams.
Because many dizziness users travel in the summer outside the country, merchants have invented a solution that enables these travelers to carry their needs of dizziness that are not sold in Europe, Asia or America.
An Iranian seller in Ajman said that the buyers before traveling are asking to prepare a quantity of enough weeks, so they mobilize drinking water packages one liter with a tobacco, and the traveler gets two or three packages, at a price of 500 dirhams per package, while the price of this package is actually less than 50 dirhams .
These profits prompted a seller to describe the dizziness of the dizziness as “a treasure that brings them great profits,” pointing out that their profit from the honey and cigarettes is very limited, and the total dependence on the profits on the tobacco.
Violation of the law
The “Emirates Today” tour also revealed that the totch tobacco is sold without any specifications, in violation of the Tobacco Control Law.
The merchants store the tanks in mineral cooking utensils, and sell them to customers in small plastic packages that do not carry any phrases that clarify the name of the product or the components of the package, and do not carry any warning phrases of the danger of smoking as stipulated in the law.
The dizziness of dizziness is manually done inside the sales outlets, and tobacco is not preserved in cans and is not packed in factories, and then the packages do not carry phrases showing the components of the content, so that the users of this tobacco smoke unknown ingredients.
Besides, dizziness packages are sold without warning expressions of the dangers of smoking, in another explicit violation of the Tobacco Control Law, added to a long series of violations that violate the articles of the law, and prove in practice that the law issued in 2009 and began to implement its list early last year , It is not applied, or “ink on paper” as some concerned are considered.
