The measure to ban energy drinks such as Red Bull and Monster for children under 16 is supported by experts, who believe that these drinks contribute to health problems such as obesity and sleep disorders. The ban aims to prevent excessive consumption of caffeine and sugar, which can negatively affect the mental and physical health of young people. The Ministry of Health will conduct a 12-week consultation to gather evidence in support of this measure, taking into account the concerns of parents and educators.
