Analysis
The law permits the Minister of Health to designate inspectors to enforce the law but does not state an affirmative duty to carry out enforcement.
To align with FCTC Art. 8 and the FCTC Art. 8 Guidelines, the law should clearly impose a duty to enforce and require a protocol for inspections.
