Mexican
Cigarette warnings
In December, 2009, Mexico gazetted requirements for 8
pictorial warnings to appear on cigarette packages.
A picture-based message will appear on the top 30% of
the front of the package, and will be accompanied by a
text-only message (yellow text on a black background)
that will cover 100% of the back.
Mexico will also require one of a series of 8 text
messages (yellow text on a black background) to cover
100% of one of the side panels. Each of the 8 side
panel messages is to appear at the same time as
particular specified messages on the front and back
(there are 8 sets of front/back/side panel messages).
The new Mexico warnings will be effective September 24,
2010 (nine months after publication in the Official
Journal, which occurred on December 24, 2009).
