The Namibia government is in the process of drafting a law against the advertisement, promotion, and sponsorship of alcohol and other dependence-inducing substances.
The draft bill titled, '''The Prevention and Treatment of Substance Use', seeks to outlaw the advertisement and promotion of highly addictive and illegal narcotic drugs that affect mental performance, and cause changes in mood, awareness, thoughts, feelings, or behavior.
Among substances to be banned are heroin, dagga, alcohol, other intoxicating substances, and commercially produced alcoholic beverages.
