Larger Pictorial Warnings On Tobacco Products From Today Friday April 01,2016

The notification implementing larger pictorial warnings on all tobacco products will come into effect from today. The move comes despite a parliamentary panel's recommendation for a drastic reduction in the size of the visual message.

The Health Ministry's notification of September 24, 2015, for implementation of the Cigarettes and Other Tobacco Products (Packaging and Labelling) Amendment Rules, 2014, come into force today. These prescribe larger pictorial warnings on tobacco products.

The ministry had made a commitment to Rajasthan High Court on March 28 that it will implement the said rules from April 1, 2016.
