Question 6906 — health

Summary

Mr. Arthur Delaporte alerts the Minister to the Minister of Labor, Health, Solidarity and Families, responsible for health and access to care, of the urgency of enforcing the legislation in force in the fight against the promotion of nicotine on social networks. In a recent press release, the Alliance Against Tobacco (ACT) association warns of the circumvention, by more than 229 influencers, of the obligations in force on the promotion of tobacco and nicotine. Article 4 of the law of June 9, 2023, known as the “influencers” law, states that “any promotion, direct or indirect, of products considered to be nicotine products that can be consumed and composed, even partially, of nicotine” is prohibited. However, ACT has identified 948 illegal promotional publications on Instagram since 2019, affecting more than 24 million users. Sponsorships, promotional offers and hidden advertising are all ways for tobacco companies to promote numerous products that are harmful to health to young people. While smoking is one of the most serious threats ever to public health, tobacco companies are increasingly seeking to circumvent the law to promote, in the sole name of profit, products that are harmful to citizens. He therefore questions him as to the urgency of enforcing the ban on advertising and promotion of nicotine products, a real public health issue.
