Costa Rica’s Health Ministry is working to push through laws that will ban smoking in restaurants and shopping centers. The set of laws include restrictions on cigarette advertising and the inclusion of more visible health warnings on cigarette packs. Another cigarette related law aims to block the entry of a package containing only 5 cigarettes into the market. These small packs are thought to be a strategy used by tobacco companies to target young people and those with low incomes.
