Still no warnings on some tobacco packs
Some tobacco producers who sell their products on the local market still refuse to place graphic images and health warnings on cigarette packaging despite a government decree on the matter coming into force several months ago. Mom Kong, the executive director of the Cambodia Movement for Health, said on March 19 the government, through the Health Ministry, has focused on the control of tobacco products by enacting laws and creating decrees. He said that although the decree to place warnings and graphic images on tobacco products came into force last July, there are still a number of tobacco companies that have refused to comply.
