China’s cigarette health warning labels: Undermined by branding
The prevalence of appealing branding and design elements that overlap the HWL on cigarette packs, potentially diminishes the effectiveness of HWLs and makes the Chinese HWLs less prominent compared to best practices. To enhance the effectiveness of HWLs and align with FCTC Article 11, China could implement stricter HWL regulations prohibiting branding within HWLs.
