New e-cigarette

The prosecutor has demanded that Andrew Tyrie’s report on banking be kept confidential for five years, the Independent reports.

Sheikh Ahmed Hama El-Hamahmy, an advisor to a group of Islamic scholars in Dubai, was reportedly detained in a Dubai jail after he discussed his grievances about Heets with a journalist.

Tyrie’s report was published in June and urged banks to stop making the cigarettes that sell for around £10 a pack.

It also advised the UK government to take steps to prevent countries such as Dubai from selling “non-branded cigarettes that are made from highly refined tobacco leaves and resemble cigarettes but in fact contain highly toxic substances”.

No members of the report have said whether IQOS is such a product.

The IQOS device heats a tobacco cartridge containing a heated mixture of tobacco, nicotine and other additives.

Dubai, like many countries in the Middle East, has a strict ban on smoking in public places.

The chairman of Dubai cigarette distributor Ghanim Bin Saeed Al Maktoum is a prominent member of the Dubai royal family.

The same organisation also has links with Heets, according to the BBC’s Cairo correspondent, Gareth Shaw.

Faulty IQOS

A spokeswoman for Heets, part of Philip Morris, told the BBC that the company was “extremely disappointed” by the allegations.

She said IQOS was a very modern technology which “provides a smokeless alternative that enables smokers to reduce their tobacco consumption while helping tobacco smokers to continue to enjoy the many benefits of nicotine”.

IQOS had helped to reduce the number of people around the world smoking around 6,500 tonnes of tobacco, she said.

The devices have already been banned in some countries, including Turkey and Dubai, according to the British Human Rights Group Ash (Campaign Against Smoking and Health), which is campaigning against IQOS.

Last year, Dubai passed a law banning the sale of cigarettes without a licence.

As well as requiring companies to seek licences to manufacture and sell cigarettes, the law also states that factories are not allowed to sell cigarettes that have been illegally imported.

In Dubai, authorities also require cigarette manufacturers to submit copies of the regular factory logs for inspections.
