BANGKOK: Thailand is set to become the first Asian country to introduce standardized packaging of tobacco. On Nov. 14, 2018, the Thai National Committee on Tobacco Control approved the Ministry of Health Regulation that requires cigarettes in Thailand to be sold in packaging stripped of the fancy, colorful and unique cigarette branding.
Instead, the packs will be in drab brown color, free of any logos or images with 85 percent pictorial health warnings on both sides. Tobacco brand names can only be printed in a standardized font type, size, color and location. This regulation will be gazetted soon and implementation will be in 270 days.
