A decision has been made regarding a potential ban on tobacco and alcohol advertising in the Canton of Zurich: The center-right parties in the Zurich Cantonal Council have blocked a stricter ban on tobacco and alcohol advertising.
The decision on a possible ban on tobacco and alcohol advertising in the canton of Zurich has been made: The conservatives in the Zurich Cantonal Council have prevented a stricter ban on tobacco and alcohol advertising. Although posters for cigarettes and alcohol are to disappear from public property in future, they will not be allowed on private property that can be viewed from there.
The more far-reaching regulation demanded by the Commission for Social Security and Health (KSSG) and supported by the cantonal government, according to Health Director Verena Diener (Green Liberals), was narrowly defeated today by 86 votes to 89.
The SVP and FDP motion to exempt beer and wine from the ban on billboard advertising on public property and in public buildings was rejected by 91 votes to 83. The EPP clearly failed with its demand to include a total ban on alcohol and tobacco advertising in the new health law: The cantonal council rejected this proposal by 145 votes to 20.
