Residents are urged to report violators, anyone who sells vapes, cigarettes and other tobacco products without permits.
Col Ahmed Saeed Al Naeemi, director of the Department of Investigations and Criminal Investigations of Ajman Police, said the initiative was launched not only to catch illegal sellers but also to encourage smokers to quit the habit and raise awareness of health risks, especially those linked to e-cigarettes.
The police will also be rolling out social media campaigns to reach more people.
