The warning labels on packs of cigarettes sold in Thailand, already among the most prominent in the world, are set to become even larger.
According to the Nation, the graphic (some might say “sensationalistic”) representations of the consequences of smoking that now cover 55% of cigarette packages sold within Thailand will soon expand to cover 85% of those same packages.
In a statement to reporters, Public Health Minister Pradit Sinthawanarong said that he hopes the change will discourage Thais from taking up smoking.
