Samoa Alcohol Advertisments

Samoa to consider restrictions on alcohol ads

The chair of the Liquor Board, Tialavea Tionisio Hunt, confirmed the Bill was being drafted and would include "criteria for the advertisement of alcohol," theĀ Samoa ObserverĀ reports.

A 2015/16 report from Samoa's Law Reform Commission pointed out advertising and promotion of alcohol in the country was unregulated.

"There are no restrictions, for example, on times when advertisements of alcohol can be televised or broadcast, which often occurs at a time when minors would normally be part of the audience," said the report.
