The image on cigarette and other tobacco packets will be changed from September 1, 2019.
The current image would be replaced by the image of a man who lost a part of his jaw and other parts owing to Buccal Mucosa cancer.
Besides the new image, the health warning ‘Tobacco causes painful death’ and a number (1800-11-2356) to seek help for quitting tobacco would be displayed.
Together they would fill 85% of the display area of all the tobacco products.
