Submitted by the MFK parliamentary faction, the proposal seeks to address growing public health concerns, particularly the increasing appeal of vaping and smokeless tobacco products to young people. Proponents argue that the current Tobacco Use Restriction Ordinance (P.B. 1996, no. 55, as amended) is outdated and inadequate for addressing these modern challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Key measures in the proposal include raising the minimum legal age for purchasing tobacco products and electronic cigarettes to 18, mandating health warnings on packaging in Papiamentu, Dutch, and English, and extending the existing smoking ban to include electronic cigarettes, both with and without nicotine. Restrictions on advertising and promotional activities would also be tightened, especially in spaces frequented by minors, such as schools and sports facilities.<\/p>\n<p>Proponents note that the proposal draws on recommendations from the World Health Organization\u2019s Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). While Cura\u00e7ao is not a formal party to the FCTC, the initiative seeks to align local regulations with its guidelines to better safeguard public health. The proposal also addresses emerging trends, such as heated tobacco systems and vapes, which are not regulated under the current law.<\/p>\n<p>The explanatory memorandum accompanying the proposal outlines its financial and operational feasibility. It asserts that enforcement and public education campaigns could be supported with existing resources, while fines for violations could generate additional revenue.<\/p>\n<p>The SER evaluated the proposal on technical and practical grounds.<\/p>\n<p>The proposal comes amid a growing global push for stricter tobacco control measures, driven by concerns over the aggressive marketing of new tobacco products targeting younger demographics. With this legislative effort, Cura\u00e7ao aims to address local health challenges while signaling its commitment to prioritizing public health on the international stage.<\/p>\n<p>The Parliament\u2019s deliberations on this proposal will determine the future of tobacco control in Cura\u00e7ao and could mark a pivotal moment in the island\u2019s public health policy.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text admin_label=&#8221;Add to any &#8211; niet aanpassen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; saved_tabs=&#8221;all&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;]<\/p>\n<pre><code><div class=\"addtoany_shortcode\"><div class=\"a2a_kit a2a_kit_size_24 addtoany_list\" data-a2a-url=\"https:\/\/ser.cw\/en\/2024\/12\/23\/ser-curacao-advises-on-new-tobacco-restrictions\/\" data-a2a-title=\"SER Cura\u00e7ao advises on new tobacco restrictions\"><a class=\"a2a_dd addtoany_share_save addtoany_share\" href=\"https:\/\/www.addtoany.com\/share\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ser.cw\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/280\/2017\/12\/share.png\" alt=\"Share\"><\/a><\/div><\/div><\/code><\/pre>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_post_nav in_same_term=&#8221;on&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Post Navigation &#8211; niet aanpassen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; hide_prev=&#8221;off&#8221; hide_next=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_nav][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.16&#8243; background_color=&#8221;#f4fbff&#8221; custom_padding=&#8221;30px|30px|30px|30px&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_post_title title=&#8221;off&#8221; meta=&#8221;off&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Post Title &#8211; niet aanpassen&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.22.1&#8243; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_post_title][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image title_text=&#8221;1&#8243; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Extra afbeelding&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][et_pb_image title_text=&#8221;IMG_6480&#8243; align_tablet=&#8221;center&#8221; align_phone=&#8221;center&#8221; align_last_edited=&#8221;on|desktop&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Extra afbeelding&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.0&#8243; animation_style=&#8221;slide&#8221; animation_direction=&#8221;left&#8221; animation_duration=&#8221;500ms&#8221; animation_intensity_slide=&#8221;10%&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; sticky=&#8221;off&#8221; always_center_on_mobile=&#8221;on&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.23&#8243; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221;][\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>WILLEMSTAD, Monday, December 23, 2024 \u2014 The Social Economic Council (SER) of Cura\u00e7ao issued an advisory today to the Parliament of Cura\u00e7ao regarding a legislative proposal aimed at significantly tightening the island\u2019s tobacco regulations.
