Tobacco Control Bill 2015

The Senate on Tuesday passed the National Tobacco Control Bill 2015 and the Equipment Leasing Bill 2015. The bill when assented to by President Goodluck Jonathan will repeal the existing “Tobacco Smoking (Control) Act, CAP.T6, LFN 2004,” enacted in 1990 and amended years later. 

The bill will ensure effective regulation and control of production, manufacture, sale, labelling, advertising, promotion and sponsorship of tobacco and tobacco products in Nigeria.
