The Ethiopian Ministry of Health announced Tuesday the ban on all advertising for alcoholic beverages, the latest in a series of measures to promote a healthy lifestyle.
The ban came after the government banned smoking near public institutions and set up a car-free day in major Ethiopian cities one Sunday a month.
"In addition to banning advertisements for alcoholic beverages, liquor-related lotteries and billboards promoting alcoholic beverages are prohibited by the new proclamation," said Health Minister Amir Aman, to the state media.
In February, the government banned smoking near public facilities, medical centers and entertainment venues, as well as the sale of alcohol to people under 21 years of age.
