New
Zealand cigarette warnings
In
November 2006, the New Zealand government announced that
by February 27, 2008 all cigarettes sold in that country
must have one of 14 warnings covering 90 of the back of
the package and 30 of the front. The warnings must appear
in both English and Maori languages. Graphic health
warnings are also required on cigars.
Cigarette
packets will also display the Quitline
freephone number and other information about quitting
smoking. The government also revised its toxic constituent
labelling for the side panel of cigarette packages. .
