Kyrgyzstan became a Party to the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control on August 23, 2006.

Smoke Free Places: Indoor workplaces, indoor public places, and public transport are smoke free, except for airports, which may have a designated smoking room. Some outdoor areas are smoke free, including fire hazardous places, such as gas stations, children’s play areas, and public transport stops. In addition, smoking is restricted to designated smoking areas in open areas during cultural and sports events, meetings, actions, and within the boundaries of beaches.

Tobacco Advertising, Promotion and Sponsorship: There is a comprehensive ban on tobacco advertising and promotion. Financial and other tobacco sponsorship is prohibited, with the exception of corporate social responsibility campaigns. However, publicity about corporate social responsibility campaigns is prohibited.

Tobacco Packaging and Labeling: For smoked tobacco products, picture and text warnings must cover at least 50 percent of the front and back of the package, and a text warning on contents and emissions must cover 17 percent of the side of the package. There are 12 warnings in total; however, the law does not expressly state that these warnings must be rotated. Smokeless tobacco products except naswar are banned. Packaging of naswar must contain a single text warning occupying at least 65 percent of the two main sides of the package, and a qualitative (descriptive) constituents and emissions message on 17 percent of the side of the package. Misleading packaging and labeling, including terms such as "low tar," "light," "very light," "mild," "extra," and "ultra" 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 excise taxes in Kyrgyzstan are well below these recommendations.
