Touche pas à mon enfant is asking the authorities to check reports of sweets sold in Morocco in packaging that imitates cigarette packets. Hespress Français reported the appeal on 19 October 2026, citing a statement signed by the association’s president, Najat Anwar.

The organisation wants the goods’ origin and supply chain identified and their compliance with regulations examined. It is calling for measures to prevent their sale and urges families and the media to remain alert.

TPAME fears that this presentation could normalise smoking among children. That concern is part of the association’s argument. The account consulted provides neither inspection findings nor a ban: it reports a request for an investigation, not a measure already adopted.
