From Business Daily. The regulations, which were supposed to have been effected last month, would have compelled cigarette makers to display graphic images on packages as warnings to smokers. The regulations also ban advertising, promoting and sponsorship of tobacco and its products as well as smoking in open spaces to protect members of the public from the harmful effects of tobacco smoke.

The regulations state that the picture or pictogram used “shall be in full colour with a favourable background that maximises noticeability and legibility of the health warnings.”
BAT moved to court to contest the legality of the regulations and the Health ministry’s failure to release the required technical information to enable them implement the law.
