flag Over 160 health groups urge F1 to ban tobacco sponsorships, including nicotine pouches, to protect children from youth-targeted ads.

flag Over 160 global health organizations are urging Formula 1 to ban tobacco sponsorships, including those involving nicotine pouches, citing concerns that the sport’s growing youth audience—especially children under 12—is being targeted by marketing. flag Though cigarette ads were banned in 2006, companies like Philip Morris International and British American Tobacco now sponsor teams with brands such as Zyn and Velo, using cars, gear, and social media to reach young fans. flag Critics argue these partnerships undermine public health efforts, despite claims by tobacco firms that their marketing is age-restricted. flag The coalition, representing 57 countries, demands F1 update its policies to protect minors from predatory advertising.
