Key Terms
Tobacco Product
"Tobacco product" means a product entirely or partly made from the leaf tobacco as raw material, which is manufactured to be used for smoking, sucking, chewing or snuffing.
The law’s definition of “tobacco product” 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
"Package" means a covering, wrapper, container, carton or other enclosure that contains a tobacco product including labels and other written or graphic information on or in it.
The law’s definition of “package” aligns with the definition of “outside packaging and labeling” contained in FCTC Art. 11(4) in that it encompasses cartons. To better align, the definition should specify that “package” applies to any packaging used in the retail sale of the product.
Any packaging and labeling used in the retail sale of the product. (FCTC Art. 11(4))
