As a follow-up to the government's revision of tobacco industry regulations passed in June, a new manual is set to be distributed. This manual will include health warning labels that must be placed on cigarette packaging.
The newly specified graphic health warnings in the document include a warning about secondhand smoking, which displays a rendered image of a newborn sucking on a baby bottle filled with cigarette butts.
New regulations will come into effect on December 23, which will also impact e-cigarette products. Officials state that e-cigarette manufacturers will be required to cover more than 50% of each pack with health warnings.
