In RA Deputy Minister of Healthcare Tatul Hakobyan’s opinion, the best
way to fight a smoking addiction is to raise the price of cigarettes.
`In Europe, one pack of cigarettes is sold for 5 dollars or 5 euro,
whil here [in our country], it’s quite cheap,’ said Hakobyan during a
press conference yesterday.
The deputy minister said that though there exists a national program
on combatting smoking, it hasn’t received the expected results.
