Ceylon Tobacco ready for health warnings

All cigarette packs manufactured by Ceylon Tobacco Co (CTC) are scheduled from the beginning of January to include pictorial health warnings covering 60 percent of their front and back surfaces, according to a story in the Sunday Times quoting company sources.

CTC said the move was in line with a Supreme Court ruling.

According to the deadlines set by the court, all cigarette packs manufactured and issued before January 1 must be sold before February 1.
