Ukraine became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on September 4, 2006. 

Smoke Free Places: Smoking is prohibited in specified public places including: government facilities, restaurants, healthcare facilities, educational institutions, children’s playgrounds, sports facilities, in entrances to residential buildings, in underground passages, and in elevators and public pay phones. In other public places and workplaces, smoking is permitted in designated areas. Smoking is prohibited in public transport. As of July 11, 2022, smoking is completely prohibited in the places where smoking rooms were previously allowed, except airports, which will continue to allow designated smoking rooms.

Tobacco Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship: Advertising, promotion and sponsorship of tobacco products are prohibited in nearly all forms. However, there are limited exceptions, including product display at point of sale. All forms of tobacco sponsorship are prohibited.

Tobacco Packaging and Labeling: Combined picture/text warnings must occupy 65% of the front and the back of packages. As of June 1, 2022, smokeless tobacco product packages must carry a text warning that occupies 30% of the two largest surfaces of the package. The law prohibits the use on product packaging of misleading terms, descriptors, and other symbols that may create a false impression about tobacco products.

Tobacco Taxation and Prices: The World Health Organization recommends raising tobacco excise taxes so that they account for at least 70 percent of retail prices. Tobacco excise taxes in Ukraine are well below these recommendations.
