warnings and images on cigarette packages
The
Brazilian government announced stronger tobacco packaging regulations
including new warnings matched with more shocking images. In 2002 Brazil
has become the second country in the world to implement such tough labeling
and reporting measures. After the publication of the Resolution
- RDC nº 335 (revoked for Resolutions RDC nº 104 dated
31 May 2001 and RDC nº 14 dated 17 January 2003) by the National
Agency for Sanitary Surveillance (ANVISA) on 21st November 2003 , the
tobacco companies must replace the old warnings and images on their
smoking products commercialized in the Brazilian national territory
by the new ones.
Images are available for download in low and high resolution.
