The legislation which makes it compulsory to carry pictorial warnings covering 80 per cent of cigarette packs was passed in Parliament without a vote today.

With this Health Warning, we presume that smokers in SriLanka will be reduced to 10%. Thanks to Hon. MS.

This has no effect because no one buys cigrettes as packs..warnings should be on the cigerettes itself
lawry Saturday, 21 February 2015 05:07 PM
MORE THAN HALF THE SMOKING POPULATION IN SRI LANKA DOES NOT BUY CIGARETTES BY THE PACKET. SO THEY WILL NOT EVEN SEE THE WARNING EVERY TIME THEY REACH OUT FOR A CIGARETTE. ANOTHER SOLUTION SHOULD BE FOUND TOO.

Some 30 years after the other nations did it....
Rubert Vanderkoon Saturday, 21 February 2015 03:20 PM
What nonsense! We are 30 years behind and still not learning. In the west, this has been operative since 1980s but now they want plain white packaging. Apparently the effect of pictorial warnings is not minute but nil.

This is not for smokers....at least for future generation, highly appreciate.

Now everything s good. Country will prosper and people stop smoking.
Desmond Jeromme Saturday, 21 February 2015 12:59 PM
Our President had set an example to other nations too involved in smoking.
Kiris Baba Amaray Saturday, 21 February 2015 12:58 PM
Very good move indeed. Hope people will not shift into Liqiour instead of Cigarettes.

Now the smokers can save some money and save their lives too.

Hon. President you have fulfilled all the promises as at now, except one - Arresting all the UPFA culprits, criminals
Horri Jimonis Saturday, 21 February 2015 12:52 PM
All the credit should go to MS. Thank you Sir.
Desmond Jeromme Saturday, 21 February 2015 12:51 PM
Special thanks to our Hon. President Sirisena for achieving his mark.
