Tobacco Advertising Ban

The Tobacco Advertising Ban is a regulation that prohibits the marketing and promotion of tobacco products through various channels such as TV, radio, print, and outdoor media. Its purpose is to reduce the exposure and appeal of tobacco to the public, especially youth, thereby decreasing smoking initiation and consumption. By restricting advertising, the policy aims to protect public health, lessen tobacco-related illnesses, and create environments where tobacco use is less visible and normalized. This ban is part of broader efforts to control tobacco use and prevent its harmful impacts on society.
