Administrative Order No. 039 requires that health warnings cannot be hidden or obscured by any other information or images. However, the order does not expressly prohibit placing warnings where they could be permanently damaged or concealed when opening the pack. To align with FCTC Art. 11 and the FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines, the law should require that the prescribed health warnings are not placed where they may be damaged or concealed when opening the packaging.
Administrative Order No. 039 requires that health warnings cannot be hidden or obscured by any other information or images. This is interpreted to include being hidden or obscured by tax stamps or other required markings. The law aligns with FCTC Art. 11 and the FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines with respect to the placement of the warnings so as not to be concealed by tax stamps or other required markings.
Administrative Order No. 039 does not require tobacco product packaging to display a qualitative constituents and emissions statement. To align with FCTC Art. 11 and the FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines, the law should affirmatively require a qualitative statement about toxic elements such as nicotine, tar, and carbon monoxide and should eliminate all yield figures.
Administrative Order No. 039 neither prohibits nor requires the display of figures for emissions yields on packaging and labeling. To align with FCTC Art. 11 and the FCTC Art. 11 Guidelines, the law should prohibit the display of all yield figures because such yield figures can give the false impression that products with lower numbers are less harmful.
Administrative Order No. 039 prohibits on tobacco product packaging and labeling misleading terms, descriptors, trademarks, or figurative or other signs (e.g., logos, colors, brand images) that directly or indirectly create a false impression that a tobacco product is less harmful than other tobacco products. The administrative order specifically lists the terms “low in tar,” “light,” “ultralight,” “mild,” “high end,” and “low end” and specifies that the ban covers terms and descriptors in any foreign language. The law meets FCTC Art. 11 regarding a prohibition on misleading tobacco product packaging and labeling.
