Switzerland
Switzerland implemented their current policy to place health warnings on cigarette packages starting no later than January 2010. Including the border, health warnings will be required to cover 48% of the front and 63% of the back of all cigarette packages. Overall, 56% of the package space is appropriated to health warnings. Switzerland will rotate 1 set of 14 images starting in 2010 and then a second and third set of 14 images in 2012 and 2014, respectively.
Switzerland also prohibits the terms "light" and "mild" from appearing on packages.
As well, Switzerland 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.
