Brazil
Brazil became the second country to implement health warnings on cigarette packages when they initiated their policy starting February 2002. Cigarette packages are required to have a health warning cover 100% of either the front or the back of the package, which means that overall, 50% of the package space is appropriated to health warnings. From 2002 to 2004 a set of 9 health warnings were used. A second set of 10 warnings were developed and used from 2004 to 2008. In 2008, a third set of 10 images were adopted and are currently being used on packages.
Brazil also prohibits the terms "light" and "mild" from appearing on packages.
As well, Brazil requires one descriptive message on emissions and constituents on the side of packages.
