Abstract
The use of tobacco products has been clearly established to cause significant medical
and economic harm. While specific tobacco control legislation has been enacted in the
form of the COTPA 2003, it is important to examine if other legislations can be utilised
for regulation of tobacco consumption. One such legislation is the Consumer
Protection Act 2019, which significantly expands the rights of consumers and
protection given to them in terms of product safety and product quality. Accordingly,
this paper provides an in-depth analysis of the Consumer Protection Act 2019 and the
scope of utilising this legislation and the jurisprudence on consumer law with the aim
of effective regulation of tobacco consumption.
