The
WHO has expressed its concern over the debate around reduction in size
of health hazard warnings on Bidi and smokeless tobacco products.
Advocating
larger pictorial warnings on tobacco products, Bekedam called for
intensifying the drive to make people aware of the ill-effects of
tobacco.
The Supreme Court is hearing several petitions on the size of health warnings on tobacco products.
It has to be noted that India stands 136 among 198 countries ranked in a report on health warnings on cigarette packs.
