Consumer Protection Authority seizes over 1,400 units of chewing tobacco in joint operation
Muscat: In an ongoing effort to regulate markets and eliminate banned substances that pose risks to public health, the Consumer Protection Authority in South Al Batinah, Rustaq, has successfully confiscated over 1,400 units of chewing tobacco and raw materials used in its production. CPA said in a statement: 'The operation, carried out in coordination with the Royal Oman Police and the Public Prosecution, followed a report indicating that a group of expatriate workers were engaged in manufacturing, distributing, and selling chewing tobacco in three locations in Al Musanah. Upon verifying the report, law enforcement officers conducted thorough investigations and managed to seize 1,408 items, including ready-to-sell chewing tobacco and its raw ingredients. The violators admitted to the charges, leading authorities to confiscate the illegal products and impose administrative fines. The Consumer Protection Authority emphasized that trading such banned products violates Article 7 of the Consumer Protection Law, which strictly prohibits the circulation of adulterated, counterfeit, or unauthorized goods, as well as their advertisement. The authority reaffirmed its commitment to taking legal action against violators to protect consumer safety. It urged the public to remain vigilant, adhere to consumer protection laws, and report any illegal practices observed in local markets through official communication channels.

Bradley Cooper, 50, reveals secret dirty habit when with girlfriend Gigi Hadid, 30... after kissing for the camera
Bradley Cooper, 50, revealed a dirty habit when with girlfriend Gigi Hadid, 30, in New York City on Wednesday. The Hollywood movie star was carrying a can of chewing tobacco in his gray slacks. The telltale sign was the outline of the round can that could be seen stuffed in his pocket. The Alias veteran has previously admitted to having a habit of chewing tobacco. In a conversation with Jonathan Ross he described it as a 'horrible trait' and one of the hardest things he has struggled to stop. Cooper added a blue button-down shirt with a collar and white piping as he wore dark lace-up boots and black sunglasses. In his hand was a small cup of coffee. Meanwhile, Gigi looked very fresh in a red-and-white striped men's shirt with matching red loafers and worn-in blue denim jeans. She too was carrying a beverage. Last week she went Instagram official with Cooper. The Vogue model took to the social media site on Saturday to share photos from her star-studded birthday bash last week. She wore a gold ring on her wedding finger. Nestled into the post was a snapshot of the beauty passionately kissing the A Star Is Born filmmaker. She affectionately held his face in he hands as they lip-locked behind her multi-tier chocolate birthday cake. The mother-of-one, who shares four-year-old daughter Khai with ex-boyfriend Zayn Malik, started the caption, 'I feel so lucky to be 30! I feel so lucky for every high and low- for all the lessons and gifts both have brought me. To get to feel it all!' The Guest in Residence designer subtly gave a nod to her romance as she continued, 'I'm so lucky to be a mom, friend, partner, sister, daughter, colleague to some of the most unbelievable humans!! 'So lucky for the support and encouragement from all of YOU around the world, every day and on my birthday last week.' In conclusion, she wrote, 'I had the best time celebrating, and it's a blessing to feel so loved!! I am grateful and honored to take on a new decade x x G.' View this post on Instagram A post shared by Gigi Hadid (@gigihadid) While Gigi and Bradley have mostly kept their relationship out of the spotlight, the mom-of-one recently gave some insight into their bond. Speaking to Vogue in March, she said being with the actor has helped to give her a 'normal experience of dating.' 'Bradley has opened me up to going to the theater more, and that's something that's so nice to bring back into my life,' she shared. 'You want to give yourself a normal experience of dating and even for my friends who aren't public figures, that's hard. Where do you go? And, what? You just start talking to people?' Hadid mused. She reflected, 'I think just getting to the point where knowing what you want and deserve in a relationship is essential, and then to find someone that is in a place in their life where they know what they want and deserve… and you both do work separately to come together and be the best partner that you can be. 'I just feel really lucky. Yeah, lucky's the word.' She went on to gush about her beau, 'I respect him so much as a creative and I feel that he gives so much to me: encouragement and, just, belief.' She also opened up about her co-parenting arrangement with Zayn. 'Zayn and I do our custody schedules months in advance,' the star revealed. 'That doesn't mean that it doesn't change here and there, but we help each other out and have each other's backs.' Gigi added that she and her ex have entered this phase of their partnership with 'love, and a feeling of camaraderie.' In another part of the Vogue profile she shared her perspective on appearing online in front of millions of people. 'I am grateful for social media, and the ways that it has connected me to the world. I wouldn't have the same career without it,' Gigi said. 'My Instagram is like snail mail,' she explained. 'If you follow me, you have to be patient, life has to load.… It's different from how socials felt when I was younger. It doesn't come as naturally to me as it did when Instagram started.'
