WHY TAPS BAN?

Open discussion

WHY TAPS BAN?

TAPS promotes tobacco use by:• Creating an impression that tobacco is acceptable

and normal• Encouraging smokers to increase consumption• Lowering smokers’ motivation to quit smoking• Encouraging children to experiment with smoking• Reducing opportunities for open discussions on

the dangers of tobacco use due to income received from tobacco advertising
