India's
cigarette warnings
In
2003, the Indian government passed the Cigarettes and
other Tobacco Products (Prohibition of Advertisement and
Regulation of Trade and Commerce, Production, Supply and
Distribution) Act.
In
July 2006, a regulation was published showing the four
health warning messages that were to be portrayed on
cigarette packages in India after 11 February 2007.
A revised set of warnings was issued in 2007.
A final version was released in 2008.
Picture
based warnings are not yet on packages in India (April
2009).
