Australia could face tougher tobacco regulations in the next two years if legislation proposed by Health Minister Mark Butler is passed, ABC News reported.
The proposed legislation would require standardized sizes of tobacco packs and products, standardized design of filters, health warnings for each cigarette, public health information in leaflets and cigarette packs, prohibition of flavors and additives such as menthol, and restrictions on the use of certain names.
“Some names are designed to mislead users, [suggesting] that the cigarette they’re using is somehow good for them, such as smooth or fresh-cracked names,” Butler said. "This stuff is a cynical and deliberate marketing tactic to entice new smokers into this public health threat and will be banned in this legislation."
“The legislation introduced by former minister Nicola Roxon has an April 1, 2024 deadline,” Butler said. "So the current set of regulations on plain packaging, graphic warnings, etc. will expire on April 1 if we don't pass replacement legislation, so we intend to get this legislation through Parliament by April 2024."
