Restricting images of actors using tobacco in cultural and artistic products is not only beneficial to public health but also plays an important role in building a healthy lifestyle for the young generation.
In the modern entertainment world, actors and celebrities always have a strong influence on the public, especially the young. They are not only ideal role models in the eyes of fans, but can also strongly influence the behaviors and habits of viewers.

In that context, restricting images of actors using tobacco in films and television shows has become an issue that needs to be deeply concerned, in order to protect public health and prevent the younger generation from accessing this harmful habit.
Restricting images of actors using tobacco in cultural and artistic products plays an important role in building a healthy lifestyle for the young generation.
Especially in the context of the profound influence of popular cultures such as cinema, television and social media, filmmakers, artists and program producers need to be clearly aware of their responsibilities to society.
Restricting images of actors using tobacco does not mean banning or controlling artistic freedom, but is a form of protecting the community, especially young people, from negative influences.
This could be done through film industry regulations, requiring film and television productions to prohibit actors from using tobacco during filming, or to substitute tobacco products such as gum, food, or other non-harmful forms.
Some countries have recognized this problem and have begun to introduce strict measures to reduce tobacco use in films.
In the United States, organizations such as the Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) have introduced regulations requiring higher ratings for films that contain smoking scenes, and recommending that producers avoid this imagery in works aimed at young audiences.
In Vietnam, a number of propaganda campaigns and seminars have been organized to raise awareness about the harmful effects of tobacco on health.
However, there are still many films and television shows that feature actors smoking, especially in action, crime or romance films, where smoking is often used as a character highlight. Therefore, it is necessary to have specific regulations to control tobacco images on screen.
Limiting tobacco use in films not only helps protect public health but also creates positive values in shaping the lifestyle and awareness of young people.
If famous actors and artists become healthy, non-smoking role models, they will become a positive source of inspiration, helping young people choose healthy habits, thereby reducing the rate of young people starting to use tobacco.
In fact, when movies replace images of cigarettes with healthy habits, such as exercise, healthy eating, or actions that demonstrate health care, audiences will realize that health and success come not from harmful actions but from self-care and positive life choices.
To limit images of actors using tobacco in films and photos, the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism has just issued Circular 14/2024 regulating the restriction of the use of images of actors using tobacco in cinematographic and theatrical works.
This Circular replaces Circular No. 25 dated August 30, 2018, effective from January 25, 2025.
The scope of application of the Circular includes all organizations and individuals involved in performing arts activities, film production, film distribution, film dissemination and film classification. This includes actors participating in cinematographic works and performing arts.
According to Ms. Phan Thi Hai, Deputy Director in charge of the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund, Circular 14/2024 regulating the restriction of the use of images of actors using tobacco in cinema and theatrical works has just been issued, which is extremely important and necessary.
Nowadays, actors and singers use smoking as a way to express their character or mood during performances, which greatly affects the behavior and lifestyle of young people.
"In addition, tobacco companies can use celebrities, stage productions, movies, and music videos to promote smoking behavior," said a representative of the Tobacco Harm Prevention Fund.
The Law on Advertising prohibits advertising tobacco products in any form, and the Law on Commerce prohibits promotion or use of tobacco for promotion in any form.
