Ban on Kiosks Selling Tobacco Criticized

The head of Newspaper Distributors and Salespeople Union believes it is not within the purview of municipalities to decide what items street kiosks are allowed to sell. 
“The body in charge of this matter is Iran Chamber of Guilds,” Hossein Fekri was also quoted as saying by ILNA. 
He was reacting to a ban recently placed by Tehran Municipality’s Organizing Industries and Urban Jobs Company on the sale of tobacco and snacks by street kiosks and newsstands.
