Abstract New health warnings on tobacco packaging in Canada became mandatory in January 2001. As of that time producers were required to print large-font warning text and graphic images describing the health consequences of using tobacco. This study uses micro data from two waves of Health Canada's Canadian Tobacco Use Monitoring Surveys bordering the legislation to investigate if the introduction of the warnings had any significant impacts on smokers. The recently drafted Framework Convention on Tobacco Control, under the sponsorship of the World Health Assembly, assigns a central role for this type of message. Our findings indicate that the warnings have not had a discernible impact on smoking prevalence. The evidence of their impact on quantity smoked is positive, though only at a relatively low level of confidence.

Objectives: In this paper, we assess compliance of cigarette packaging with policies in 9 countries that ban misleading descriptors, assess the presence of other packaging design elements that are misleading to consumers, and identify policy loopholes. Methods: Cigarette packages were systematically collected in 9 countries between 2015 and 2017 – Bangladesh, Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Philippines, Russia, Thailand, and Vietnam. The packs were coded for banned misleading descriptors and other misleading packaging design elements. Descriptive analyses were conducted. Results: Overall, compliance with explicitly banned misleading descriptors is high across countries, with the exception of packs from Indonesia, where compliance is mod- erate. However, the use of other misleading packaging elements such as alternative descriptors (soft, smooth, mellow), select color descriptors (blue, gold, silver), and a slim pack shape are still widely used in packaging design across the 9 countries examined. Conclusions: Policies that include loopholes or allow for other misleading packaging design elements could weaken the impact of recommended misleading packaging and labeling regulations as laid out in the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control. Stronger provisions are needed and countries should consider comprehensive plain packaging.
