According to a report from The Jerusalem Post on March 6, the Israeli Ministry of Health has mandated the printing of graphic warnings on cigarette packaging in order to deter smoking behavior.
These images include photos of diseased organs, smokers using breathing devices, and images of children surrounded by smoking parents.
Sharon Alroy-Preis, head of the public health department, said that these warning images were approved after consulting with representatives of the extreme Orthodox community and did not face any religious or legal objections.
At the same time, the Ministry of Health has announced a draft requiring tobacco products to include graphic health warnings in addition to existing text warnings. These warnings are intended to show the health damage caused by smoking and secondhand smoke exposure.
The new regulations will apply to various tobacco products, including cigarettes, e-cigarettes, hookah, and smokeless tobacco.
According to the new regulations, Israel will become one of the first countries worldwide to require graphic health warnings on e-cigarettes and their components.
In addition, the new regulations require the labeling of smoking cessation service information, directing users to seek advice from the hotline provided by the Ministry of Health or the cessation services offered by the Health Fund.
Uriel Busso, Israeli Health Minister, said: "This is a significant measure aimed at reducing the attractiveness of tobacco products and preventing addiction among teenagers."
