Key Terms
Tobacco Product
"Tobacco products" means products entirely or partly made of the leaf of tobacco as raw material which are manufactured to be used for smoking, snuffing and chewing.
The law’s definition of “tobacco products” aligns with the definition of “tobacco product” provided in FCTC Art. 1(f).
Any product entirely or partly made of the leaf tobacco as a raw material which is manufactured to be used for smoking, sucking, chewing, or snuffing. (FCTC Art. 1(f))
Outside Packaging and Labeling
The law does not contain a definition of “outside packaging and labeling.” This can hamper application and implementation of FCTC Art. 11 and the FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines. A definition of “outside packaging and labeling” should be provided in accordance with FCTC Art. 11(4).
Any packaging and labeling used in the retail sale of the product. (FCTC Art. 11(4))
