Analysis
There is no law regulating tobacco product packaging and labeling. Although the Consumer Protection Act requires a supplier or trader of dangerous goods to place a clearly visible and prominent warning on such goods, this law is not being used to require tobacco product health warnings.
To meet FCTC Art. 11 and align with the FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines, the law should require, at a minimum, large, clear, visible, legible and rotating health warnings and messages that cover more than 50% but at least 30% of the principal display areas and contain pictures as well as text.
