The Public Health (Alcohol) Act 2018 regulates the advertising of alcohol products in order to reduce the health harms associated with their consumption; non-alcohol products, the focus of this campaign, do not cause such harms.

These products are relatively new to the market, therefore there is as yet insufficient evidence to determine whether they might have a positive health impact by encouraging consumers to substitute non-alcoholic products for those containing alcohol. My Department will continue to monitor the emerging evidence.
