Action Required for Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship Not Banned
Disclosure to the government by the tobacco industry of information on advertising, promotion and sponsorship activities and expenditures
The law does not require disclosure to the government by the tobacco industry of information on advertising, promotion, and sponsorship activities and expenditures.
To align with FCTC Art. 13 and FCTC Art. 13 Guidelines para. 41, the law should require disclosure by the tobacco industry to relevant governmental authorities of any advertising, promotion, and sponsorship in which it engages. The disclosures should be made at regular intervals prescribed by law and in response to specific requests.
Health warning messages required on permitted forms of tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship
Because health warning messages are not required on all permitted forms of tobacco advertising, promotion, and sponsorship, the regulatory status code "Not Required” is given.
To align with FCTC Art. 13 and the FCTC Art. 13 Guidelines, the law should require health warnings and messages on all permitted forms of advertising.
Disclosed information readily available to the public
The law does not require the tobacco industry to make any disclosed information on advertising, promotion and sponsorship activities and expenditures publicly available.
To align with FCTC Art. 13 and the FCTC Art. 13 Guidelines, the law should impose a mandatory disclosure requirement on the tobacco industry and make this information readily available to the public.
