Australia’s New Packaging Warnings Take Effect
Australia implemented new cigarette packaging laws on April 1, requiring health warnings on each cigarette. Canada is the only other country with similar regulations. The laws also introduced 10 graphic health warnings and inserts promoting smoking cessation. Cancer Council's Sarah Durkin noted the warnings initially raised awareness but effectiveness declined over time. New warnings address lesser-known risks like diabetes and DNA damage from smoking, as well as secondhand smoke effects on children's lung capacity.
