Pictorial warning to cover 80% of cigarette pack”, law from Friday
Tough new anti-tobacco legislation, making it mandatory to carry pictorial warnings covering 80 per cent of cigarette packets, is to be approved by Parliament on Friday.
The new laws will come by way of the National Authority on Tobacco and Alcohol (Amendment) Bill which was introduced to the House as an Urgent Bill on Tuesday.
Under the provisions of the Bill, manufacturers or importers of tobacco products will be required to carry the Health warnings that are, “displayed conspicuously and in legible print on the top surface area of both the front and back of every packet, package or carton containing the tobacco product manufactured or imported by such manufacturer or importer.”
The Health warnings will have to cover an area of 80 per cent of the top surface area of both the front and back of every packet, package or carton containing cigarettes and other tobacco products.
The Health warnings will have to indicate the health hazards and the harmful effects caused by the usage of tobacco products, and will also have to include a label or statement specifying the tar and nicotine content in each tobacco product in such packet, package or carton along with such Health warnings prescribed by law.
