The Tobacco Regulation Branch was set up in 1989 to administer and enforce the Tobacco (Control of Advertisements and Sale) Act (Chapter 309), with the objective of reducing the prevalence of smoking among Singaporeans. The act provides for the control on the following: Prohibition of smoking by youths below the age of 18; Prohibition on the sale and supply of tobacco products to youths below the age of 18; Prohibition of smoking-related advertisements and promotion of tobacco products; Mandatory labelling of health warnings on tobacco products; Tar and nicotine content limits in cigarettes; and Licensing of tobacco importers/wholesalers and retailers.
