Does alcohol marketing need to be reined in?

Harrison Christian Reporter from Central Leader

Hi all,

A Kiwi academic is calling for an international treaty, like the one in place for tobacco, that would limit alcohol marketing in spaces like sport and social media. Of particular concern, the professor says, are targeted ads on Facebook and Instagram that are invisible to policy makers. Are you a parent worried about the level of exposure your child has to alcohol marketing? If so, please get in touch: harrison.christian@stuff.co.nz

Thanks,
Harrison
