Aargau wants to prevent and ban advertising

Advertising bans II The Aargau government wants to impose greater restrictions on advertising for tobacco and alcoholic beverages and wants to accept a motion from Lilian Studer (EVP) demanding that tobacco and alcohol should no longer be advertised in and on public buildings. The ban should also apply to all places visible from public property. The benefits for public health and the prevention of addiction are greater than the loss for the advertising industry, explained the government council. In the tobacco sector, CHF 39 million is spent annually on sponsorship and CHF 71 million on advertising, according to the government council.
