The new war on smoking: deterrent images will appear on cigarette packs in Israel

Ahead of the new regulations taking effect in August, the tobacco market in Israel is starting to change. Importers have begun marketing cigarette packs in Israel that include prominent images and health warnings, a step intended to deter smoking in accordance with international standards accepted in many countries around the world.

According to News in Real Time on Telegram, this is a move that falls under the definition of the "new war on smoking." According to the channel, importers have already begun marketing packaging with "deterrent images and prominent health warnings" before the full regulation takes effect.

The channel Daniel Amram Censorship-Free also addressed the graphic change on the packs. According to Daniel Amram, the move is being made as preparation for the new regulations, and he questioned whether it is a "legitimate step or less so." It should be noted that both channels do not present a clear political stance on the issue of public health, but tend to engage in broad current events coverage in Israel.
