tobacco advertising restrictions

Tobacco advertising restrictions limit how and where tobacco products can be promoted to protect public health. These laws often ban advertising on TV, radio, and other media, restrict placement near schools or public spaces, and prohibit sponsorship of events. They also enforce warning labels on packaging and may restrict sales promotions and discounts. The goal is to reduce tobacco’s appeal, especially to young people, and decrease smoking-related health issues by making it less visible and attractive. These restrictions vary by country and region, reflecting efforts to balance regulation with commercial rights.
