Imported cigarettes too will carry warning

The Directorate General of Foreign Trade of India made it mandatory for imported cigarettes and other tobacco products to carry pictorial warnings against tobacco consumption on the packs.

However, industry and government sources said the import of cigarettes and tobacco products is very minimal and whatever comes into the country is either through smuggling or through duty-free shops.
