On 13.02.22 in Switzerland the complete Tobacco advertising ban adopted. The law is currently being drafted and is expected to come into force in 2024 / 2025.

Tobacco legislation is becoming stricter and stricter. Where the road leads is not exactly foreseeable. In other words: No one really knows what will happen. On social media such as Facebook, Instagram and YouTube, groups and videos on the subject were blocked again and again. Suddenly, they were back online. And blocked again. It is unclear what else will happen there.

The renowned company Cigars International from the USA has been blocked on YouTube since about 2018. They have violated the guidelines (tobacco = hazardous substances). But thousands of other channels on the subject are still online. This is discrimination beyond compare. Cigars International tried to fight it with lawyers - without success.
