Disclosure Requirements
Disclosure by manufacturers and importers of cigarettes to government authorities of information on the contents and/or ingredients used in the manufacture of their cigarettes
Ministry of Health
The Tobacco Products Control Act requires manufacturers to provide “such information about the product and its emissions to the Minister and the public as may be prescribed.” Because the Minister has not yet issued regulations about such disclosure, the regulatory status code “Not Required” is given.
To align with FCTC Art. 10 and the FCTC Arts. 9 & 10 Partial Guidelines, the law should clearly require disclosure by manufacturers and importers to government authorities of information on the contents and/or ingredients used in the manufacture of their cigarettes.
