Open discussion

19. 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
