NFVCB, filmmakers, stakeholders move to ban smoking in Nigerian movies

has begun engaging with practitioners and stakeholders in the Nigerian movie and entertainment industry to enforce the law banning smoking in movies.

Mr Thomas said the engagement is geared towards ensuring that practitioners in the movie industry adhere to the no-smoking laws in Nigerian movies, among other relevant laws of the country. Thomas said the existing national legislation does not sufficiently capture the emerging alternative products of tobacco, such as E-cigarettes, Shisha, among others.

“The tobacco industry uses the sophisticated marketing mix to promote smoking on set and in the entertainment sector. He promised that the NFVCB would continue to work with relevant stakeholders to put in place adequate measures to ensure that the environment remains conducive to growing the film industry.
