💨 Abstract

The Union Health Ministry has asked the Indian Premier League (IPL) to ban tobacco and alcohol advertising within stadiums and telecast sessions, citing the promotion of public health and the high burden of non-communicable diseases in India. The government also urged IPL to prohibit the sale of these products at affiliated events and sports facilities, and to discourage endorsements by sportspersons linked to alcohol or tobacco.
