Daily Doc: Health warnings in Thailand


Title: Thailand Health Warnings
PM Asia, Sep 30, 1990

March 31, 2000

It's interesting to compare the health warnings on cigarettes packs in the United States with those required in other countries, in this case, Thailand. Notice in Thailand there is no "Surgeon General warns..." and that the notice must be on the front of the pack.

I particularly like this one: "Respect the rights of others by not smoking in public."

Do you think we could get that one in the U.S.?
