Analysis
The Control of Smoking Act does not set forth any requirements for health warnings on the packaging and labeling of smoked tobacco products. To meet FCTC Art. 11, the law should require, at a minimum, large, clear, visible, legible, and rotating health warnings and messages that cover at least 30% of the principal display areas. To more fully align with FCTC Art. 11 and the FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines, the health warnings should include pictures and should cover 50% or more of the principal display areas.
