Plain packaging is required for all cigarette and roll-your-own tobacco products available for retail sale as of December 21, 2019.

One of the four authorized picture and text warning pairs must be displayed on 80% of the lower portion of each of the two principal display areas (front and back) of each tobacco product package. Each of the pairs must appear on an equal number of packs for each brand. Warnings must be rotated every 12 months.

The law requires a descriptive statement of constituents and emissions information occupying 100% of one side panel. The current statement, however, does not include constituents and emissions information.

These provisions meet FCTC Art. 11 with respect to warning size, location, and rotation.

One pair of picture and text warnings must be displayed on 80% of the lower portion of each of the two principal display areas (front and back) of each tobacco product package. Although four pairs have been prescribed in Ordinance No. 943, the Ordinance specifies that the fourth pair shall be displayed on smokeless tobacco product packaging. Because only one pair has been prescribed, there is currently no rotation of health warnings on smokeless tobacco product packaging.

The law requires a descriptive statement of constituents and emissions information occupying 100% of one side panel. The current statement, however, does not include constituents and emissions information.

To align with FCTC Art. 11 and the FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines, an ordinance should prescribe multiple health warnings  to appear on packages of smokeless tobacco products at the same time.
