3. Control of Advertising of Cigarete
Products
• Hong Kong data
– 1982 initial limits on tobacco use
– In 1990 tobacco advertising on broadcast media was
prohibited
– and later billboard bans were instituted
– Most recently, the Smoking (Public Health) Ordinance (Cap.
371) regulations included bans of print media advertisements
in 1997, effective December 1999
– The current restrictions exempt point of sale advertising.
– None the less, tobacco companies continue to promote
brand awareness principally via sports sponsorship and
branded clothing and music.

4. Concllusion
• Let me conclude by summarising the main points of
my presentation.
• Cancer causes a quarter of all deaths in Hong Kong, and
lung cancer, which is chiefly caused by smoking, causes
one third of all deaths.
• To counter this,To counter this, 33 measures have been proposed.measures have been proposed.
• Of these, further restrictions on the promotion of tobacco brands, and greater limits
on where people can smoke are recommended.
• Regarding the third measure, increased taxation of
cigarettes, I BELIEVE THE PRESENT LEVELS
SHOULD BE MAINTAINED, BUT NOT
INCREASED!!!!!!!!
