Abstract

The legislation pertaining to warning labels on tobacco packs exhibit variation across different countries. Numerous countries mandate the inclusion of conspicuous and visually impactful health warnings on cigarette packaging, which serve to depict the detrimental consequences associated with smoking. Typically, these warnings encompass visual representations or textual descriptions illustrating the adverse effects associated with smoking, such as lung cancer, heart disease and other health disorders directly linked to tobacco consumption. Health warnings are frequently governed by regulations that prescribe the dimensions, positioning, and perceptibility of such warnings.
