Stricter Tobacco Rules in Thailand

Thailand's cabinet has passed a draft regulation imposing strict reporting requirements on tobacco manufacturers and importers, aiming to control substances in products and emissions during combustion. The new rules ban flavor additives, misleading labels suggesting health benefits or vitality, and cap permissible levels of tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide. Manufacturers must also disclose product ingredients and byproducts. Certification fees are outlined, with the regulation set to go into effect six months after publishing and remain valid for four years.
