On August 28, 2022, the South Korean Ministry of Health provided an updated image for the health warning label that will be required on cigarette packaging. According to a new government regulation, cigarette manufacturers in South Korea will be required to strengthen the health warnings on cigarette packaging starting in late December, the Ministry of Health and Welfare announced on Sunday.
The department is set to distribute a handbook containing updated health warning labels for cigarette packaging on Monday, as a follow-up action to the tobacco industry regulation revision passed by the government in June.
The new regulations will come into effect on December 23rd.
The manual demands that the company add more graphic warnings on their cigarette products. For instance, warnings regarding secondhand smoke would include a rendered image of a newborn baby sucking on a baby bottle filled with cigarette butts.
Officials stated that electronic cigarette packaging must have over 50% of it dedicated to displaying health warnings.
