Wijziging van de Tabaks- en rookwarenwet om het reclameverbod aan te scherpen

This Dutch bill amends the Tobacco and Smoking Products Act (Tabaks- en rookwarenwet) to strengthen the ban on advertising for tobacco and smoking products. The stated aim, based on the title, is to make the existing advertising prohibition stricter and harder to circumvent. Tobacco advertising restrictions are a public health measure intended to reduce smoking, particularly among young people. The change would primarily affect tobacco and smoking product manufacturers, importers, retailers, and advertisers operating in the Netherlands. Those who promote such products would need to comply with the tighter rules. Consumers, especially young people, may be indirectly affected through reduced exposure to promotion.
