South Africa Pledges Not to Unilaterally Reinforce Cigarette Ban Following Court Challenge
The South African government has pledged not to arbitrarily reinforce its recently lifted cigarette ban without public consultation. In return the Fair-trade Independent Tobacco Association has dropped its case.
Thank you for sharing!

Close on the heels of the lifting of South Africa’s five-month cigarette ban in late August, the government has pledged to follow a public participation process should the ban be reinstated during the country’s ongoing COVID-19 lockdown.
Fair-trade Independent Tobacco Association (FITA) chairperson Sinenhlanhla Mnguni said in a statement that this undertaking was part of a settlement in which the company had agreed to drop its legal challenge against the government over the ban.
