English: This chart displays data from the World Health Organization's MPOWER report, focusing on bans on tobacco direct advertising across member countries, in accordance with Article 13 of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC).
It specifically refers to the bans recorded in 2022, the year of the report's latest update, highlighting which countries have fully prohibited tobacco ads, which allow some forms of advertising, and which have no bans at all. It also provides a more general overview of the percentage of bans in each region, including South-East Asia, Africa, Eastern Mediterranean, Western Pacific, the Americas and Europe.
This dataset from the World Health Organization (WHO) is part of the Global Health Observatory (GHO) and specifically focuses on tobacco control measures and the enforcement of bans on direct advertising. It collects data on how member countries implement restrictive policies across various media, including television, radio, print, and online platforms.
Aligned with the objectives of the Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC), it is also integral to the MPOWER initiative, a policy package intended to assist in the country-level implementation of effective interventions to reduce the demand for tobacco.
The data has been updated biannually since 2007, with the exception of 2007 and 2008, when reports were produced for both years. For this chart, only the data related to the year 2022 has been selected, emphasizing the most recent insights into these regulations.
