Enforce bans on tobacco advertising, promotion and sponsorship (TAPS)

According to Article 13 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, the comprehensive ban must be put into effect within five years of entry into force of the Convention for each Party, including a cross-border advertising ban originating from the Party’s territory. At present, 43 States Parties to the Convention have not yet implemented this measure at the highest level, and the deadline has now expired.
