Quit says tobacco ads slipping through cracks on social media

Public health organisation Quit says the federal government is barely scratching the surface in its battle against illegal tobacco advertising on social media, with ads still slipping through the cracks. The organisation has seen examples of illegal tobacco advertising on social media, highlighting the need for greater scrutiny.

The issue of illegal tobacco advertising on social media matters for social commerce as it highlights the challenges of regulating online advertising and the need for social media platforms to take greater responsibility for the content they host. It also raises questions about the effectiveness of current regulations and the role of public health organisations in monitoring and reporting illegal advertising.
