COMMENTS: Administrative Order No. 2010-0013 requires graphic health information to be displayed on tobacco packaging and prohibits the use of misleading information that directly or indirectly create or are likely to create the false impression that a tobacco product or brand is less harmful than any other tobacco product or brand. However, before the Administrative Order took effect, tobacco companies filed various lawsuits in several cities to challenge the validity of the Administrative Order. As of December 2014, the Administrative Order has not been implemented.
