SRO to notify new pictorial health warning on cigarette packs published

ISLAMABAD:  SRO of new pictorial health warning on cigarette packs and outers has been published.

With this publication, all rumors about delaying and withdrawal of SRO dissolve and disintegrate by themselves.

This need to be recalled that Mrs Saira Afzal Tarar Minister of State, Ministry of National Health Services, and Regulations & Coordination had stated that government was very much concerned about betterment of health of citizens of Pakistan.

 

Government would not leave any corner untouched for protecting & enhancement of health of Pakistani’s. Now it would be mandatory to have pictorial health warning published on all cigarette packs produced / imported and sold in Pakistan. Strict disciplinary action will be taken for non compliance   of this Law.
It is noted that Government is receiving appreciation and warn   regards from civil society/ all stakeholders from all over Pakistan and abroad.
Government is also taking measures to raise tax on cigarettes in upcoming budget which would not only result in increasing Government revenue but will also protect the health of Pakistanis from hazards of tobacco use.
