Summary: 

Belgium implemented their current health warnings policy starting April 2007, as a result of the European Commission labelling directive. Including the border, health warnings cover 48% of the front and 63% of the back of cigarette packages, which is larger than the EU requirements of 35% front and 50% back because Belgium is a trilingual country (German, French, Flemish). Overall, 56% of the package space is appropriated to health warnings. A set of health warnings 14 warnings are rotated. The remaining 28 warnings suggested by the EU are left as optional.

Belgium also prohibits the terms "light" and "mild" from appearing on packages.

As well, Belgium requires tar, nicotine, and carbon monoxide emission numbers to appear on the side of packages. These emission numbers are generated using the ISO machine smoking method.
