Islamic State militants in the northern Iraqi city of Mosul have vowed to punish anyone who sells cigarettes.

The Sunni militant group had already set out a number of laws in their wathiqat al-madina (charter of the city) that they presented to the people of Mosul back in early June.

Those who steal are punished by having their hands chopped off. The five daily prayers of Islam are mandatory for everyone. Drugs, alcohol and cigarettes are forbidden, as they do not align with the extremist Islamic views of purity.

“IS insurgents have put 30 lashes as punishment for vendors selling or trading cigarettes,” said a source from Ninevah Province. “From now on, IS insurgents will apply the punishment on the people of the areas under its control.”
