Tanzania: a petition to ban advertising

  Honourable Minister for Health and Social Welfare (click here to sign the petition on line)

The Non-Governmental Organisations of Tanzania and tobacco control advocates congratulate the Tanzania Government for enacting the Tobacco Products (Regulation) Act, 2003 (TPRA, 2003) and, for ratifying the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).

However, we are concerned about the lack of enforcement of TPRA (2003) in particular Part VI, Section 26 and, lack of observance of Article 13 of the FCTC, both of which prohibit tobacco promotion and advertisement.

The current upsurge of cigarette advertisement in Tanzania is a cause of great concern.

Thank you to Véronique Le Clézio for the pictures.
