Violations of the ban on tobacco adverting and promotion are punishable by fine. The law does not specifically state the level of those fines. Companies (legal entities) may be subject to criminal liability for violations.
To more fully align with FCTC Art. 13 and the FCTC Art. 13 Guidelines, the penalty provisions should specify a range of fines and penalties commensurate with the severity of the violation and whether it is a repeat violation. In addition, the law should consider other penalties such as license suspension and/or revocation.
