Tobacco and Alcohol Regulation
Tobacco and alcohol regulation involves laws and guidelines that control the production, sale, and consumption of these substances to protect public health. Governments set age limits for purchase, require warning labels, and restrict advertising to reduce health risks associated with smoking and drinking. Regulatory agencies, like the FDA for tobacco and the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau for alcohol, enforce these laws to prevent abuse, inform consumers, and minimize negative health impacts. The aim is to balance personal freedom with the protection of public health and safety.
