The Union Health Ministry has announced that from December 1st, tobacco and cigarette packaging will carry a new health warning. According to the recently amended Cigarette and other Tobacco Products (Packaging and Labelling) Rules, 2008, two sets of warning signs will be displayed on both sides of the pack. The first will be the same as the one used in existing packs, i.e., tobacco causes a painful death. The other side will display a new image illustrating "Tobacco users die young." The pack will also display a toll-free helpline, Quit Today Call Today (1800-11-2356), in white font on a black background.

In India, tobacco use causes more than 1.3 million deaths every year. Several experts have called the amendment a welcome step toward creating awareness among smokers and smokeless tobacco users. Dr. S.K. Arora of Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital stated that the warnings play a significant role in helping tobacco users quit the habit. As per the latest Global Adult Tobacco Survey (GATS-2, 2016-17) conducted among smokers between the ages of 15 and above, 61.9% of cigarette smokers, 53.8% of bidi smokers, and 46.2% of smokeless tobacco users were considering quitting due to the warning label on packets.
