Key points of interest:
1. The Russian Ministry of Health has released new warning images focusing on the health risks of smokeless tobacco.
2. Smoke-free tobacco products need updated packaging warning information.
3. Experts warn that warning images may lose their effectiveness over time.
According to PNP's report on March 8th, the Russian Ministry of Health has designed a series of images that will be used on the packaging of tobacco-free products.
These warning images are intended to remind consumers of the potential health risks associated with these products. The designs are realistic and visually impactful.
In 2024, a federal law was passed amending the technical regulations for tobacco products. Now, warnings must be included on the packaging of every smoke-free tobacco product. The relevant draft regulations have been posted on the federal regulatory law document portal website for public view and are now open for public discussion.
The draft specifies that manufacturers must print the approved design on the product packaging or insert within 12 months of approval.
According to data from the Russian Statistics Bureau, currently 0.2% of individuals aged 15 and older in Russia use this form of tobacco.
Psychologists warn that, in the long term, the effectiveness of these images may diminish.
Psychology expert Natalia Panfilova says the shock effect of the images diminishes as people become accustomed to them, with smokers gradually ignoring even the most graphic warnings.
