In a recent turn of events that feels straight out of a satirical comedy, the Republic of Tajikistan has decided to up the ante on its anti-smoking regulations. Imagine this: you’re sneaking a puff in your car or casually selling e-cigarettes over the counter, and bam, you’re hit with a fine that feels like it came out of nowhere. As of July 3, according to mir24.tv, Tajikistan has revised its Code of Administrative Offences (КоАП), making the world of smoking a little less smoky and a lot more expensive.
