International standards are used to regulate the contents and emissions since most of the products are imported. The local produced products are exported and they have to comply with the stadards of where they are being exported. The only challenge we have is of products that get into our country illegaly. Some of them do not have enough information for the consumer. That being the case we have ensured that our upcoming law takes care of this. |

In March 2019, Canada amended the Tobacco Reporting Regulations, which set out the requirements for the reporting of information on the sales, manufacturing processes, ingredients, constituents, emissions, research and development activities as well as promotional activities undertaken by tobacco manufacturers. The amendments served to update and clarify the requirements in order to make them more relevant to the current environment and to eliminate redundant requirements; updated the official testing methods for the sampling and testing of tobacco products to reflect technological advances. The amendments are expected to enhance the quality and completeness of the information submitted by the tobacco industry.
In 2000, Canada enacted the Tobacco Reporting Regulations, which set out requirements for the reporting of information on sales, manufacturing processes, ingredients, toxic constituents, toxic emissions of tobacco products sold in Canada, as well as research activities and promotional activities undertaken by tobacco manufacturers and importers. |
The Tobacco Reporting Regulations enacted in 2000 require that tobacco manufacturers report to the Government the content and emissions of consumer tobacco products sold in Canada.
Under the previous labelling requirements, the toxic emissions statements displayed numerical values for six toxic emissions (tar; nicotine; carbon monoxide; formaldehyde; hydrogen cyanide; and, benzene). Research conducted by Health Canada has shown that the numerical values were not clearly understood by some smokers and most had little idea what the range of numbers displayed for each chemical meant. The numerical values have been replaced by four text-based statements that provide clear, concise and easy to understand information about the toxic substances found in tobacco smoke.

Finance Act 2005 prescribes that no cigarettes factory shall clear cigarettes unless they conform to the health standards prescribed by the federal government. This provision has not been operationalized in view of the absence of internationally accredited laboratory system capable of accurately testing and reporting tobacco products in Pakistan. GoP is actively following international developments on the matter.
We are also looking forward to the evolution of the proposed global database regarding tobacco product contents and emission disclosure. We are considering the option of earmarking special funds to set up internationally accredited laboratory in Pakistan to test the contents and emissions, as has been done by some countries in the Region |

La Ley 18.256 del año 2008 establece que las compañías tabacaleras deberán informar al Ministerio y al público en general las sustancias tóxicas de sus productos. Además establece que cada 3 meses se divulgara en los principales medios de comunicación información relativa a los componentes tóxicos de los componentes del tabaco y las emisiones. Esto no se está exigiendo dadas las recomendaciones incluidas en las Directrices de los artículos 9 y 10 del Convenio Marco.
Posteriormente, luego que Uruguay ganara el juicio a Philip Morris, se prohibió por Decreto Presidencial, la divulgación de cualquier información al público, por parte de la industria. |
La normativa actual dispone que el Minsiterio de Salud Pública establecerá las sustancias que las compañías tabacaleras deberán informar al Ministerio y al público en general, en concordancia con las Directrices de los art. 9 y 10 del Convenio Marco, las cuales aún no han sido aprobadas en su totalidad. |
