New Zealand Plans to Put Gruesome-looking Image on Cigarette Pack
Kamis, 1 Januari 1970 07:00 WIB
TEMPO.CO , Wellington, New Zealand -New Zealand is moving ahead with plans to make tobacco companies remove their logos from cigarette packs and enhance graphic health warnings.
Under draft regulations released Tuesday, May 31, 2016, cigarettes would be required to be sold in packs with plain background colors and with gruesome-looking images covering at least 75 percent of the front of each pack.
The proposal has widespread support among lawmakers. A law is expected to be passed this year with the changes enforced by early next year.
Dozens of countries and territories around the world have adopted similar measures in recent years after Australia became the trailblazer in 2012.
New Zealand Prime Minister John Key said lawmakers held back on enacting plain packaging rules earlier to observe lawsuits brought by tobacco companies play out in Australia.
