Law revision to further limit tobacco ads

The planned revision of the Advertising Law will ban online media promotions and outdoor advertisements of tobacco, an anti-tobacco activist said.

Xu Guihua, deputy director of the Chinese Association on Tobacco Control, made the remarks at a seminar on Monday, when the top legislature started reviewing the amendment to the law.

She was invited by the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress as a tobacco-control expert to take part in amending the law.
