The government has a critical responsibility to protect public health by implementing measures to prevent health issues, such as those caused by tobacco products. Among the most effective interventions are regulatory actions, particularly through the law. Regulatory bodies must also balance the interests of various stakeholders while safeguarding consumers' rights. This study examines Taiwan's Tobacco Hazards Prevention Act (THPA) Amendment through the lens of consumer protection, aiming to protect citizens from the harmful effects of tobacco products. It offers recommendations for the government to amend regulations, implement stricter policies, and provide education, particularly in schools, to ensure the health and well-being of the nation.
