Analysis
Violators shall be subject to penalties set forth in Law No. 2 of 2008 on Consumer Protection, and the amendments effected thereon. That law has since been repealed and replaced with Legislative Decree No. 8 of 2021. The exact penalties available under this law are uncertain.

Not Applicable
N/A
Analysis
The law does not require disclosure by manufacturers or importers of information on the contents or emissions of their cigarettes; therefore, there are no specified penalties.
To align with FCTC Art. 10 and the FCTC Arts. 9 & 10 Guidelines, the law should require disclosure and impose sanctions for disclosure violations.
