An article in the Saudi Gazette stated that the Makkan Municipality will enforce the prohibition gradually by adjusting the commercial licenses of shops. Approximately fifteen billion cigarettes are smoked here in the Kingdom each year. The municipality intends to stamp new shop licenses and ones that are renewed with a statement that says ?sale of cigarettes and tobacco derivatives prohibited?. The Madinah cigarette sale prohibition came into force a year ago. Those retail shops selling cigarettes close to the Haram (Prophet?s Masjid).
