IT REFERS to Union Health Ministry’s decision now to put scarier pictures on tobacco-packs while earlier similar idea mooted by the then Union Health Minister A Ramadoss was diluted by the Committee of Group of Ministers (GoM) constituted on the aspect of compulsory printing of pictorial-warnings on tobacco-packs. Unfortunately, the influential tobacco-lobby at that time was also successful in GoM ignoring warning of Union Health Secretary against not including box, carton, tin, wrapper or other container for printing such warning thus violating the definition of ‘Packaging’ in the Act. Otherwise also print-area and design of pictorial-warnings were much diluted against wishes of A Ramadoss.
