COMMENTS: This Agreement, dated December 24, 2009, establishes the parameters of health warnings, including their content, size, and locations on tobacco product packages and external packaging and labeling. These provisions resulted from an agreement between the Ministry of Health and the tobacco industry, and became binding once the Agreement went into effect (nine months from publication in the Official Gazette). The warnings in this Agreement were in effect from September 24, 2010 through September 23, 2011.

To the best of our knowledge, all laws provided here are in effect as of October 8, 2024 unless otherwise noted.
