The legislation ran aground due to opposition from Germanys Christian Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>Thanks in part to <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.politico.eu\/news\/merkel-supports-ban-on-tobacco-advertising-in-germany\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">pressure<\/a> from Chancellor Angela Merkel, however, the tide began <a href=\"https:\/\/pro.politico.eu\/news\/germanys-conservatives-signal-support-for-tobacco-ad-ban\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">turning last year<\/a>. And when the conservatives Daniela Ludwig took on the job of drug commissioner last September, she signaled the partys stance was shifting.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of Fridays debate, she told POLITICO shes \u201cvery pleased\u201d that lawmakers were set to debate the measure, which she said she has been \u201cvery much committed to\u201d since she took office.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIm very sure that tobacco and e-cigarette outdoor advertising will no longer exist in Germany in the future,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n<p>She has gotten strong backing from Germanys Medical Association, which has pointed to the countrys 120,000 tobacco-related deaths per year. The group cites studies showing \u201cthat tobacco advertising increases the attractiveness of tobacco products, especially among children and young people.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Germanys association for tobacco products, meanwhile, has come out swinging against the measure, having long fought tobacco ad bans of any kind, callin<a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/article\/germanys-lax-laws-on-tobacco-ads-could-go-up-in-smoke\/?utm_source=RSS_Feed&amp;utm_medium=RSS&amp;utm_campaign=RSS_Syndication\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Read More \u2013 Source<\/a><br \/>\n[contf]<br \/>\n[contfnew]<br \/>\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/snap.md\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/politico-logo.jpg\"\/><\/p>\n<h5><a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.eu\/\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\">politico<\/a><\/h5>\n<p>[contfnewc]<br \/>\n[contfnewc]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BERLIN \u2014 Germany is moving one step closer ..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":150076,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[48],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-150075","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-health"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>Holy smokes!
