T.R. in Cigarette Sales Law Proposal for Identity Number Obligation

It is expected that a new bill will be submitted to the Turkish Grand National Assembly in order to control access to tobacco products more tightly. With the prepared regulation, consumers have the right to T.R. during cigarette sales. It is envisaged that identification number information will be requested and sales will be recorded based on this data.

The bill in question is planned to be implemented in order to make the use of tobacco products traceable and to increase compliance with legal legislation. If the regulation becomes law, it will be mandatory to use the identity verification system at all retail sales points.
