All manufacturers of tobacco products are now required to put graphic health warnings on their products' packages touching on the adverse effects of tobacco use.
The new 2014 Tobacco Control Regulations, published today by the Ministry of Health (MOH) notes: “The manufacturer, seller, distributor or importer of a tobacco product shall ensure that the health warning and message including a pictogram or picture is not distorted or likely to be damaged, concealed, obliterated, removed or rendered permanently unreadable when the package on which it is printed is opened in the normal way.”
