Bermuda is a British Overseas Territory and, as such, falls under the jurisdiction of the United Kingdom. The UK became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on March 16, 2005; however, the WHO FCTC has not been extended to Bermuda.

Smoke Free Places: Smoking is prohibited in all indoor public places, indoor workplaces, and on public transport. In addition, smoking is also prohibited on the premises (i.e., outdoor areas) of all educational facilities and most healthcare facilities.

Tobacco Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship: The law prohibits many forms of tobacco advertising and promotion. Point of sale product display is limited to areas that are not directly accessible to consumers, and may not be within three meters of sweets, toys, candy, and other items that might reasonably appeal to minors. Although sponsorship by the tobacco industry is not prohibited, publicity of the sponsorship is subject to a number of restrictions.

Tobacco Packaging and Labeling: Tobacco product packaging must display a text-only health warning on 30 percent of the front and back faces. Although the contents of multiple health warnings have been specified, the law does not require equal distribution of the warnings and provides no details about rotation. Misleading packaging and labeling, including terms such as “light” and “low tar” and other signs, is prohibited. 

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 tax information is currently unavailable.
