Health warnings
From 1 March 2006, a new system of health warnings came into full effect requiring all Australian-manufactured and imported tobacco product packaging to be printed with new graphic health warning labels.
The new graphic health warnings provide a strong and confronting message to smokers about the harmful health consequences of tobacco products and convey the ‘quit’ message every time a person reaches for a cigarette.
In combination with the warning messages and explanatory messages, the new images are intended to increase consumer knowledge of health effects relating to smoking, to encourage cessation and to discourage uptake or relapse.
