Croatia considering graphic health warnings

Croatian lawmakers are considering a proposal that would require cigarette companies to print graphic health warnings covering 65 percent of the pack surface, according to local press reports.

The proposal would also ban the sale of cigarette packs containing fewer than 20 pieces, prohibit the use of additives and flavors in cigarettes and rolling tobacco,and classify e-cigarettes as tobacco products.

Retailers would be permitted to sell their existing e-cigarette and cigarette inventory until Dec. 20, 2016, and May 20, 2017, respectively.
